FCC Cable TV Blackout Refund Proposal

Who qualifies? Anyone whose satellite or cable TV service was interrupted for more than 24 hours. The FCC is proposing this rule because of significant TV blackouts this year, like the ones involving Charter Communications and Disney, which affected millions of viewers. While it’s not exactly a settlement, it does mean compensation could be coming your way soon.

How much? It’s not nailed down yet, but here are the possibilities for how people would be compensated under new FCC rules:

• A part of your monthly bill returned to you in cash.

• A credit on your next bill, so you pay less.

• A reduced bill for the following month because of the blackout.

Proof needed? Details aren’t clear yet, but you’d likely need some evidence that your service was out, like a record or notice from the provider.

This hasn’t been decided yet. Once the FCC finalizes everything, they’ll give a date by which folks need to claim their refunds.
