iTunes Store issues Credits for the Writer’s Strike

by Adam Fisher-Cox on Mar 20, 2008 at 11:23 AM

iTunes As most people know, the 2007-2008 television season was severely hampered by the Writers Strike that lasted over three months. It resulted in some cancellations, some delayed seasons (I want my 24!) and it also proved good for some other shows that likely would have been cancelled had the networks not needed new material to fill the schedule.

One group that was hurt by the strike are those who purchase season passes on iTunes. Many shows ran incomplete seasons, and so many people payed for many more episodes than they received. Apple answered this problem with a couple different deals:

For television shows that were cancelled because of the strike, Apple is offering partial refunds.

For television shows, like Heroes, that lost episodes because of the strike, Apple is offering two free video credits that will work for TV episodes, short films, or music videos. Feature films are not included.

These refunds, etc. have apparently been applied to iTunes accounts, so check in to see if you have any free video passes waiting for you!
