Overview
- Subscribers are receiving emails to claim a one-time $20 credit via the Updates section of the YouTube TV app or website, with automatic application only for some third‑party billed accounts.
- YouTube TV says all credits should be issued by Nov. 12 and that Disney channels would return in a matter of hours once a deal is finalized.
- ESPN and ABC have been off YouTube TV since Oct. 30–31, leaving customers without recent college sports and potentially another Monday Night Football telecast between the Eagles and Packers.
- The NFL has widened access to Monday Night Football with broadcast simulcasts on ABC during the dispute, while both companies continue to accuse each other of unfair terms.
- Viewers lost access to recordings from the removed channels and a prior MNF game saw a reported 21% audience decline, heightening churn and revenue concerns as talks show little public progress.
