YouTube TV's Disney drama just got some users a $60 apology

YouTube TV is apparently offering users a $10 monthly credit for six months to compensate for the recent loss of over 20 Disney channels.

According to reports on Reddit, some users are seeing this $10 credit applied to their monthly bills. However, the offer doesn’t seem to apply automatically. Instead, users say you have to log in to the website and click on ‘Manage Base Plan’ to find the discount. It also appears that the discount will expire after the six-month period, and your bill will revert to its original amount thereafter.

Moreover, it seems that not all YouTube TV subscribers are receiving the $10 credit. Many users report that the offer doesn’t appear in their accounts, and there’s no sign of any official communication from Google about the discount. It appears the credits are being handed out randomly.

YouTube removed Disney-owned channels from YouTube TV last week following a recent public fallout with the media house. More than 20 channels from Disney’s network, including multiple ABC, ESPN, and National Geographic channels, were removed from the live TV platform.

YouTube has stated that if Disney channels remain inactive on its network for an extended period, users will receive a $20 credit applied to their monthly charges. It’s unclear if the latest $10 credit users are seeing on their bill is part of this compensation or if Google will roll out an additional $20 credit to affected users. However, as per the company’s post on X above, users can expect an email with more details in the coming days.
