Great I’m beginning to hate YouTube!!!

We lost ESPN/ABC the Friday of Labor Day weekend 2023 (Charter-Spectrum). We were without both for 3 weeks.

 

[BradstarVols]

YouTube TV and Disney weren't able to make a deal so Disney channels (ABC and all ESPNS) are removed from YouTube TV.

Disney seems to be the far bigger problem. They've been non-stop raising prices for TV providers over the past few years. There's a reason they've now had disputes reach the point of removing channels for each of Youtube, Charter/Spectrum and Dish over the past few years.

One of the most greedy corporations in the world today. Jacking up prices to mitigate losses on their trash content that they crank out at an alarming clip.

Yet they kill gold mine content like the Mandalorian.

100%. The move from cable to streaming was to avoid constantly rising cable prices due almost entirely to ESPN holding the cable companies hostage. Now they are running the same playbook on YouTube TV. Thing is they have far less leverage than they used to.

It's always self-inflicted wounds that bring down empires.

Well, I guess its Mike Keith on the radio Saturday night.

I'm not sure why people fell for that slop either. It was atrocious.

Can get it on internet YouTube still

 

[NEO]

ABC you can get OTA if necessary. Just get an antenna. I have YouTube tv and may do so.

ESPN sucks and I literally only watch football on it.

 

[VOLifornia]

Years and years of this trash. From every major player markets. They want you to subscribe directly to their services over being included with all the other trash. It’s not rocket science.

 

[VOLifornia]

The real work is figuring out the stuff you really watch.

Echoing this for people who will be harmed by the billionaire squabble. If folks were to run a search on Youtube for, you know, their favorite team and a visiting opponent on Saturday, say around 7:30 or so, they might find some streams of interest worth looking at. You know. For research purposes.

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

I have Disney+ Hulu, espn+ bundle, which I need to get rid of, but hopefully I can watch the game.

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

I have the Disney, Hulu, ESPN+ bundle still I think but I’m not sure if it will include the game since I don’t have live TV for Hulu? Maybe it still will. Fingers crossed…

 

[sonofUT62]

I’ll just go to Wild Wing in Johnson City. Surely it wouldn’t randomly close this week….only giving one day of notice…..

 

[NighthawkVol]

Great I’m beginning to hate YouTube!!!

I cancelled mine. The cost has gotten ridiculous. I have the ESPN Unlimited app and got an antenna for network channels. That's all I need.

 

[VolForLife83]

Great I’m beginning to hate YouTube!!!

Is not youtube, it's the greedy Disney wanting to raise prices and YouTube saying no,we don't want to raise prices again

 

[EastTNVol6240]

I’ll just go to Wild Wing in Johnson City. Surely it wouldn’t randomly close this week….only giving one day of notice…..

See what you did there.

 

[Ovol]

Hulu/Disney just jacked their rate. Up to $98.

 

[RockytopJYB]

I’ve already cancelled and subscribed to Hulu. College football is one of the great joys in life for me….. I don’t like it at all when a company messes with that.

Sarcasm font?

They will. They always do. Just a bunch of greedy, evil corporations trying to claw every penny from viewers. Not sure I'll live to see it, but I expect all content to go PPV. Hey, I grew up listening to games on radio. Might be fun to turn back to that medium again.
