YouTube TV Offers $20 Credit Amid Prolonged Disney Blackout
The standoff between Disney and Google's YouTube TV persists, leaving subscribers without access to key channels like ESPN and ABC. As negotiations over carriage fees stall, YouTube TV has extended a $20 credit to affected users—a repeat of its 2022 compensation strategy during a similar dispute.
The October 31 blackout reflects Disney's push for higher fees, which YouTube TV argues WOULD force price hikes on customers. Neither party shows signs of concession, prolonging frustration for millions of viewers reliant on these platforms for live sports and entertainment.
