YouTube TV Offers $10 Credit Amid Disney Channel Blackout

Summary

YouTube TV subscribers have lost access to Disney-owned channels due to a contract dispute, with the platform offering select users a $10 monthly credit for six months.

YouTube TV subscribers have lost access to Disney-owned channels, including ABC and ESPN, following a failure to renew the carriage agreement between YouTube TV and Disney. In response, YouTube TV is offering some users a $10 monthly credit for six months. This credit is not automatically applied; eligible subscribers can find it under Settings > Membership > Manage Plan on the desktop website. The offer appears to be selectively available, with some users reporting its presence and others not. This $10 credit is separate from the previously announced $20 credit, which YouTube TV plans to offer if Disney channels remain unavailable for an extended period. The blackout affects over 20 Disney-owned channels, including ABC, ESPN, Disney Channel, FX, and National Geographic. Both companies have expressed a desire to reach a resolution, but no timeline has been provided.
