Overview
- Subscribers began receiving emails on Nov. 9 explaining how to claim a one-time $20 credit that will be applied to their next bill, with all credits expected by Nov. 12.
- The rebate is not automatic for most direct-billed customers and must be claimed via YouTube TV account settings, while those billed through third parties will see it applied automatically.
- ESPN, ABC, FX, National Geographic and more than 20 Disney-owned networks remain unavailable on YouTube TV after the Oct. 30 contract lapse, and affected DVR recordings were removed.
- YouTube and Disney remain far apart on price and terms, with Google saying Disney’s demands would raise customer prices and Disney saying YouTube TV is seeking below‑market rates.
- With no agreement announced, YouTube TV subscribers are set to miss ESPN’s Monday Night Football unless a deal is reached in time.
