Disney $50M Settlement Notice: How to Claim Payout as Deadline Looms
Biddle v. The Walt Disney Company alleged Disney's programming practices helped drive up the cost of streaming live TV services.
The Walt Disney Company has announced a $50 million settlement for millions of current and former YouTube TV and DirecTV Stream subscribers. The class action lawsuit, Biddle v. The Walt Disney Company, alleges that Disney's programming practices contributed to the rise in streaming live television costs. Eligible customers have until September 8 to submit a claim.
Disney denies the allegations but agreed to the settlement to resolve the claims. The settlement will affect millions of households that subscribed to the services during a seven-year period. Payments will vary based on subscription length and the number of approved claims. Consumers who miss the deadline will not receive any payout, as final court approval is required and the payment distribution is scheduled for January 2027.
