YouTube TV offers update after removing ESPN/Disney channels

YouTube TV was in a rights dispute with Disney recently, leading to the removal of, among other networks, the ESPN family of networks.
Obviously, for college football fans, that was a huge problem, as ESPN carries many of the bowl games this season, including the College Football Playoff matchups.
Fortunately, the channels were only gone from YouTube TV for a day, as the company announced on Sunday that those networks were being restored:
We're happy to announce that we've reached a deal with Disney and have already started to restore access to channels like ESPN and FX, and Disney recordings that were previously in your Library. Your local ABC station will also be turning on throughout the day.

That sound you just heard was a huge sigh of relief from college football fans everywhere.
We’ll see what this means for the monthly price of YouTube TV moving forward, but for now, bowl season is a go again!
