"The Disney-ESPN blackout on YouTube TV has completely wrecked my college football Saturday. Last weekend, I missed GameDay and my usual sunup-to-sundown, multiview, wall-to-wall coverage, and had to scramble to figure out how to watch my team play. Also: I found the absolute best early Black Friday streaming deals I caved and bought another subscription just to watch the Miami-Syracuse game, which the Hurricanes won, thank God."
"Luckily, there's now a small apology from Google. YouTube TV subscribers affected by the blackout can claim a $20 credit. The $20 credit is a one-time discount and not automatic. But at this point, I'll take it. I can put it toward the other subscription I purchased, which I'll tell you more about in a bit, since it's the cheapest workaround I've found so far that still lets me stream ESPN."
The Disney-ESPN blackout on YouTube TV disrupted live college football viewing, causing subscribers to miss flagship programming and multiview coverage. Some subscribers purchased an additional streaming service to watch specific games despite YouTube TV’s monthly cost exceeding $80. Google is offering a one-time $20 credit to affected YouTube TV subscribers, but the credit is not automatically applied and must be checked and redeemed online. The $20 credit can offset short-term workarounds. A $4.99 24-hour pass that includes ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN3 serves as a low-cost temporary solution for streaming affected ESPN content.
