YouTube TV subscribers can feel confident that their current content lineup isn't going to change any time soon. That's because YouTube was able to successfully close new deals with popular broad TV networks. However, it wasn't all smooth sailing, with Disney creating some resistance, causing content to be pulled from YouTube TV for a few weeks.

The disagreement even spread to content outside YouTube TV, with YouTube cutting support for Movies Anywhere, which is a Disney-owned platform. Luckily, Disney and YouTube managed to work things out, and we're now even starting to get signs that YouTube will once again support Movies Anywhere.

Things are slowly going back to normal

A Movies Anywhere support page shares that the brand is working hard to get YouTube back as a partner. Unfortunately, it doesn't currently have a date for when this will happen (via 9to5Google). While we don't think it will take all that long for this to happen, we know there are folks out there hoping this will progress sooner rather than later thanks to the upcoming holiday season.

In addition to the above, 9to5Google reports that Disney-owned content is now available on Google platforms, making it possible to rent and purchase your favorite movies and TV shows once again. While it's great news that this is all happening, some would argue that the content and services shouldn't have been pulled in the first place.

Luckily, YouTube has been at the very least trying to accommodate its users for these recent disruptions, offering a $20 credit. Furthermore, the brand took a hit with subscribers during the outage, and is actively trying to lure some of its customers back, offering a $60 credit when resigning.

The latter promotion isn't something that's going out to everyone, but has been reported by various people across the internet. Of course, it's still a matter of waiting at this point when it comes to support for Movies Anywhere across Google's platforms. While resolved for now, we know that this will continue to be a problem for streaming services and content providers.

It's the reason why many are looking to invest in and produce their own shows. Netflix was the first to do this, with many others following in their footsteps. However, YouTube TV is a little different in this sense, since it is a TV livestreaming service. It will be reliant on broadcasters and these contracts for the life of the service.
