Media analyst insiders highlight that for major networks, election years are critical revenue months. Removing Disney’s channels from YouTube TV potentially deprives both Disney and its advertising partners of millions in revenue. Meanwhile, CBS News enjoys rising ratings thanks to cautious but strategic moves, such as securing high-profile interviews like President Trump on 60 Minutes. These developments suggest an evolving media landscape where traditional dominance is waning.

YouTube remains the biggest platform for live streaming, outperforming Disney’s content and demonstrating how modern audiences prefer flexible, personalized streams over linear broadcasting.
