The battle between YouTube TV and ESPN doesn\u2019t appear to have an end in sight<\/a> \u2014 so users will be getting some money back.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Subscribers were informed on Sunday that they would be issued a $20 credit because of the ongoing dispute between the provider and the Disney-owned sports network.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve 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,\u201d YouTube TV told its subscribers in an email, per Pro Football Talk. <\/a>\u201cWe know it\u2019s been disappointing to lose Disney content, and we want you to know we deeply appreciate your patience. In light of the disruption, we\u2019re offering our subscribers a $20 credit. . . . Over the next few days, you will receive a follow-up email with instructions on how to redeem your $20 credit for YouTube TV. Once redeemed, this will be applied to your next bill.\u201d<\/p>\n

The email does not give a good indication that a deal will be struck by the two sides before \u201cMonday Night Football,\u201d with the Eagles and Packers slated to round out the Week 10 slate of games.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And NFL and college football fans could be looking at another week of missed games if the stalemate between the two sides continues.\u00a0<\/p>\n

YouTube TV previously told its customers that if the disruption lasted an extended period of time it would issue a credit to customers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Things weren\u2019t looking much brighter last week<\/a> either, when The Athletic reported that the sides were \u201cfar apart\u201d on a price that YouTube TV was willing to pay the network per subscriber.\u00a0<\/p>\n

An internal memo that was viewed by The Athletic<\/a> also showed how Disney execs view things between the two sides.\u00a0<\/p>\n

How to watch ESPN and ABC for free without YouTube TV<\/p>\n

There are a few other live TV streaming services<\/a> offering great deals and channels that YouTube TV customers no longer have access to.<\/p>\n

DIRECTV<\/a><\/strong> offers a free 5-day trial<\/strong> covering all the affected channels with plans starting at just $49.99\/month for your first month. That unlocks NFL, NBA, NHL, and college football across ESPN, ABC, and more, plus regional sports networks in most markets, all for one price.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not ready to commit to a full subscription and just want to catch a night of sports on ESPN, Sling TV is an excellent alternative due to the unmatched flexibility it offers with plans that include one-day passes. Sling Orange Day Passes<\/a> are priced at $4.99, and you\u2019ll get 24 hours of access to all Sling TV Orange has to offer, including ESPN and ESPN2.<\/p>\n

In a memo signed by Disney Entertainment co-chairmen Dana Walden and Alan Bergman, and ESPN chairman Jimmy Pitaro, they wrote that \u201crather than compete on a level playing field, Google\u2019s YouTube TV has approached these negotiations as if it were the only player in the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt goes without saying that the reason so many consumers value our programming above others is because we invest in the best talent, creators and content in the world, and we cannot allow anyone to undercut our ability to do so,\u201d it continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a statement to The Athletic, YouTube TV said, in part, that \u201cDisney is resorting to their old tactics like leaking documents to the press, negotiating in public through their paid talent and misrepresenting the facts including from the deals they\u2019ve offered and taking credit for our product proposals.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The battle between YouTube TV and ESPN doesn\u2019t appear to have an end in sight \u2014 so users…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":368590,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[8811,64,7299,171,5723,62,1486,3581,173,67,132,68,100250],"class_list":{"0":"post-368589","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-abc","9":"tag-business","10":"tag-disney","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-espn","13":"tag-sports","14":"tag-sports-entertainment","15":"tag-sports-media","16":"tag-tv","17":"tag-united-states","18":"tag-unitedstates","19":"tag-us","20":"tag-youtube-tv"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/368589","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=368589"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/368589\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/368590"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=368589"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=368589"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=368589"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
