As YouTube TV and Disney remain locked in a carriage renewal dispute, the Google-owned streaming platform has rejected a proposal to temporarily restore ABC on Election Day.

On Monday, YouTube revealed it had declined Disney’s offer to stream ABC stations for election coverage, noting that a brief, 24-hour return would only confuse its subscribers.
