YouTube TV is offering users a $20 credit due to the Disney blackout.

YouTube TV users dissatisfied with over a week of missing ESPN, ABC, and other Disney channels will receive a $20 credit applicable to their upcoming billing statement.

Variety was the first to disclose the credit, and a representative from YouTube validated this information to TechCrunch. According to the company, these credits are being distributed now, with users getting emailed guidelines on how to redeem it.

Disney’s channels were removed from the streaming TV service on October 31. YouTube states that should a deal be reached, those channels will be reinstated within a few hours. Like previous conflicts, this situation appears to center around pricing, with YouTube objecting to what it claims is Disney’s price increase, while Disney contends that YouTube is “refusing to pay fair rates for our channels.”

The last disagreement between the subscription TV service and Disney occurred in 2022, prompting YouTube TV to provide customers with a $15 credit after Disney content was taken down for a single day.
