If you switched from cable to live TV streaming hoping to save money, you probably noticed those monthly bills gradually climb over the past several years. Now, some subscribers may be able to recover a small portion of those costs through a proposed $50 million settlement involving Disney.
The settlement stems from a class-action lawsuit alleging Disney's business practices contributed to higher prices for live TV streaming services like YouTube TV and DirecTV Stream. While Disney denies any wrongdoing, the company agreed to settle the claims, meaning current and former subscribers could qualify for a payment if the settlement receives final court approval.
