What's sad is that the credit is not automatic. You have to log in to your account and claim it.

Agree but I think the issue is people who maybe miss the email or don't know about it (think those 65 and beyond maybe). How many people like that? Probably not many. But easiest would have been a flat credit for all since all YTTV subscribers impacted. They chose to make you click to save $$

Keep in mind that many many people, probably a majority of users, have no idea about this dispute or care. So why would YouTube tv feel obligated to give those users credit when they don't even realize they're supposed to be upset about something that doesnt impact them in any way? Those users aren't threatening to switch, so that cash flow is stable. Giving them automatic credit would be incredibly stupid for them to do, financially speaking.

LOL! I'm 71 and had no problem at all, clicked the link in the email I got, one more click and it was done. Was very easy to check my account to confirm the refund had been applied. Us 65 and an older folks have been reading well over 60 years, so if you can read and follow directions p, you can confirm your refund.

My comment was not about ability...its the fact that not everyone past 65 is posting daily on an internet forum like you and others on here and therefore maybe also not checking emails daily...

My parents are 70+ and almost never get online. I called them to let them know and they got the credit but I do not know for sure if they would have actively looked for an email or logged into their account to just see if by chance a credit was waiting for them...and they do enjoy ESPN / college sports so they have been impacted by this.

Down with old people!

They need to be shipped off somewhere and let us young people take care of the important stuff like how to properly allocate / redeem $20 credits....

I'm on line, doing emails, etc. very regularly due to volunteer groups and boards I'm on. In fact often tell me wife it feels like working again- and the pay is not nearly as good as when I was working.

About 25% of folks don't watch sports, so losing ESPN is moot. Only about 20% are avid college football fans. Why give everyone a credit automatically?

Because they are paying for channels they are not able to get.

Those who want to run a media provider should start one up…

PSA if you missed the email or can't find it:

Disney CFO Is Ready to Fight YouTube TV "As Long as They Want To" https://t.co/Xm6nOKpckY

— The Hollywood Reporter (@THR) November 13, 2025

https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/disney-losing-30m-week-youtube-tv-blackout-drags-on-analysts-say.amp

An analysis by Morgan Stanley estimated in a research note released Sunday that the impact of 14 days of the YouTube TV blackout would create a $60 million revenue headwind for Disney. That amounts to about $30 million per week, or about $4.3 million per day, in lost revenue due to the dispute.

"get' is irrelevant. Those consumers pay those carriages fees and don't "get" the channels right now because they don't consume that content! They have probably ignored the whole thing from the get-go. Yet YTTV is still offering them a rebate - for something they never consume - if they take action.

We all pay for many channels we don't watch.

They can't consume the content bc YouTube/disney pulled the channels. My 72 year old mother doesn't watch sports and knows about the dispute bc she can't watch whatever shows she watches on ABC

Prior to this, I've been wrong.

THAT is the most punchable throat/face on the planet.

This is possibly the most ignorant post in history.
1) It's not just ESPN. It's ALL Disney owned and distributed content

• • ABC
  • ESPN
  • ESPN2
  • Freeform
  • FX
  • FXX
  • Disney Junior
  • SEC Network
  • Nat Geo
  • Nat Geo Wild
  • Disney Channel
  • ESPNU
  • FXM
  • ABC News Live
  • ACC Network
  • Disney XD
  • Localish
  • ESPNews
  • ESPN Deportes (Spanish Plan)
  • Baby TV Espanol (Spanish Plan)
  • Nat Geo Mundo (Spanish Plan)

2) Whether you consume the content or not it's included in your monthly fee. If the content is not being delivered then the carrier isn't paying the creator for the content. Why should YT (Google) keep the $20 per customer they are not passing along to Disney?

I'm 31 and would have known nothing about the credit if I wasn't on texags. Some of the olds on here are dang impressive.
