YouTube TV gives update on credit offer for subscribers amid ESPN outage
Published:
YouTube TV said in an email to subscribers on Sunday that it will be offering a $20 credit offer as its standoff with ESPN continues.
As YouTube TV’s dispute with Disney drags on, the streamer is attempting to offer its disgruntled viewers some relief to reward their patience amid the stalemate.
The email contained a statement that it felt would help ease growing concerns among its viewership as the saga continues right in the middle of the college football and NFL seasons. Fans who are looking for an alternative to YouTube TV could consider SlingTV or Fubo as this dispute continues.
“We’ve been working in good faith to negotiate a deal with Disney that pays them fairly for their content and returns their programming to YouTube TV,” the email read. “We know it’s been disappointing to lose Disney content, and we want you to know we deeply appreciate your patience. In light of the disruption, we’re offering our subscribers a $20 credit.”
The email to subscribers on Sunday also noted that they would be receiving a follow-up email in a couple of days with instructions on how they can redeem that $20 credit. When that credit is redeemed, it will be applied to subscribers’ next bill.
Here is a sample of what those frustrated YouTube subscribers received on Sunday and how they should proceed amid the dispute:
