The ongoing carriage dispute between YouTube TV and Disney has entered its third week, leaving millions of subscribers without access to major channels like ABC, ESPN, FX, Freeform, and National Geographic. The blackout began on Oct. 30 after contract negotiations between the two media giants failed to result in a new agreement.
YouTube TV is offering a $20 credit amid ESPN and ABC blackouts. Here’s how to claim it and what subscribers need to know during the Disney dispute.
Though YouTube TV viewers can’t watch ESPN, ABC, or other Disney channels in the middle of the latest (but probably not final) dispute, the streaming service is giving certain subscribers a $10 per month discount for an extended period of time. Here’s what you need to know about that monthly discount and what got us here in the first place.
Florida vs. Ole Miss kicks off at 7 p.m. on ESPN. Fans can stream the game with the Unlimited plan ($29.99 per month) on the new ESPN app, as well as Fubo, which offers a free trial for new subscribers. The Sling Orange plan also comes with ESPN with a $4.99 day package available (the other ESPN channels cost extra).
An ongoing dispute between YouTube TV and Disney means millions of YouTube TV subscribers are unable to access Disney programming, including ESPN's college football games and popular ABC shows.
To redeem your credit, please go to the ‘Updates’ tab in Membership Settings using your web browser, and follow the prompts. Once complete, this discount will be applied to your next bill for YouTube TV.
