YouTube TV has begun issuing the promised $20 credits to subscribers affected by the ongoing Disney-ESPN channel blackout. The compensation comes as the distribution dispute enters its second week with no immediate resolution in sight, leaving sports fans without access to major events during peak college and NFL football seasons.

During perhaps one of the best seasons for watching sports on television, ESPN channels were removed from the YouTube TV streaming platform. However, there are way subscribers can watch football and more sports this weekend with some help from other streaming services.

The Disney-YouTube TV confrontation highlights the dramatic changes in media consolidation, the diminishment of local media, and the continuing rise of big tech.
