youtube-logo_9339 YouTube Red was announced this past week and may have left a few providers unsatisfied. ESPN being one of them.

Due to the creation of YouTube Red, ESPN will apparently no longer provide content on YouTube. This is reportedly due to rights and legal issues. However, Disney, the parent company of ESPN, just signed a deal that will include its content on YouTube Red. Which is kind of strange. Unfortunately those are all the details we have right now. Here's the official statement made by ESPN regarding the service:

“ESPN is not currently part of the Red service. Content previously available on the free YouTube service will be available across ESPN digital properties”
