Disney just bought Fubo TV, they are doing this to drive people to sign up to Fubo TV.

Getting rid of Disney right after Christmas. We keep it because they have all of the really good Christmas movies. Well, we have managed to purchase most of them on DVD, so we don’t need the Mouse in our House for much longer.

I had fubo before I went to youtubetv......can’t say I was very impressed.......I always had issues with the quality of the resolution.

Then when they attempted to force a regional sports package on me as an excuse to increase my monthly bill I told ‘em to EFF off.

Cutting the cord used to be the way to go but now, it’s as expensive as Comcast or any other cable service.

That’s really just replacing the physical cord with a virtual cord to go with other subscription services.

Over the air antennas and free streaming apps are really the only true way of “cutting the cord.”

“YouTube TV” and regular “YouTube” aren’t the same. “YouTube TV” is their cable TV service.

**“Over the next few days, family managers will receive an email with instructions on how to redeem their $20 YouTube TV credit.**

We shouldn’t have to ‘redeem’ our credit. They should just refund it on their own. I’m finding out I can do without ESPN.

I bet they have it down to a science how many people won’t get around to redeeming it = millions of revenue that won’t be lost.

leaving millions of viewers without access to ABC, ESPN, and related networks.

The viewers were only denied access via YouTube. They can still access the channels via other sources.

“We’ve been working to negotiate a deal with Disney that pays them fairly for their content and returns their programming to YouTube TV. We know it’s been disappointing to lose Disney channels, and in light of the disruption, we’re offering our subscribers a $20 credit,” the company wrote.

YouTube TV said the credit will be distributed soon. “Over the next few days, family managers will receive an email with instructions on how to redeem their $20 YouTube TV credit. We remain committed to working with Disney to bring their content back, and we appreciate your patience while we work toward a solution,” the post concluded.

Neat trick, offer the coupon, but make people go through hoops to get it.
