NEW YORK (PIX11) — As YouTube TV and Disney have been at odds over all of Disney-owned networks being pulled from Google’s TV streaming platform, YouTube TV is offering a $20 credit for its subscribers.

On Oct. 30, all ABC, ESPN, and Disney-owned channels were removed from YouTube TV after the two companies failed to reach a new distribution deal. That meant sports fans who subscribed would not be able to watch some college football, NFL, NBA and NHL games.

On Nov. 3, ESPN launched a campaign to encourage sports fans to contact YouTube TV to “get [Disney’s] networks back” onto the platform. On Sunday, YouTube TV made a statement on social media, saying it’s actively working to negotiate with the media giant on a fair deal.

As the disruption in service continues, YouTube TV is offering subscribers a $20 credit.


How to claim your credit​

YouTube TV listed instructions on how subscribers can redeem their credit. Here’s how:

  1. Go to tv.youtube.com on your web browser to sign in
  2. Click your profile picture

  5. Select Claim credit
Once you claim the credit, the $20 will be applied to your next bill.

If you’re billed through Google Play or another provider, the $20 will be applied to your account automatically.
