DirecTV offers $20 credit to customers blocked from Disney channels

A dispute between DirecTV and Walt Disney Co. has left millions of customers without access to Disney’s networks, including ABC and ESPN, since Sunday night.

To apologize for the blackout, DirecTV is allowing its subscribers to apply for a one-time $20 credit on their next bill.

Disney pulled its channels from DirecTV minutes before the start of the highly-anticipated college football season kickoff game between USC and LSU on Sunday night. It comes after a dispute over the carriage fees the service provider pays Disney for broadcasting its programming.

The blackout will also block access to ABC’s presidential debate on Sept. 10 for satellite subscribers.
