Apple Sends TV “Season Pass” Subscribers Refunds for Programs Lost to Strike

The Hollywood writers’ strike from earlier this year has had some tragic consequences. For one, we never got to see this year’s Christmas episode of “The Office.” For another, even more reality TV was rushed into production.

But Apple is taking steps to remedy at least the most immediate problems that arose for customers of its iTunes Store. Anyone who purchased a Season Pass for a show that was disrupted by the strike will receive a refund for any episodes that won’t air, as well as credits good for the purchase of two additional TV episodes.

It’s an inevitable step, but the additional credits from Apple constitute a nice gesture that it didn’t need to make.

Thanks, Kimra!
