ABC will continue broadcasting the event until 2028, which will mark the 100th Oscars. This shift announced Wednesday represents a significant move for one of television's marquee events. S

What I don’t get here is why tne couldn’t be retraesmitted to YouTube starting tnis or next year? Is it because of licensing?

    @Goodlucksil ABC has the exclusive rights to the broadcast through 2028, so it’ll only be streamed on another Disney owned service (Hulu) until then. But it’s one of those huge deals, both monetarily and logistically, so the renewal discussions take place years in advance.
