I wonder how many people that have YouTube TV will cancel once ESPN breaks off.

How you figure that to happen? YTTV is a major ESPN sponsor.

I'm saying a lot of the reason why people have "package deals" (cable, satellite, YouTube TV, Hulu+, etc) is because they can't get ESPN any other way. Most other channels on those packages are available through streaming services.

Once ESPN is not exclusively tied to "package deals", I bet people will cancel their subscriptions in favor of getting a few streaming services for their favorite channels (since ESPN is now "a la carte").

Edit: I probably responded to the wrong post originally...sorry

How is that any different than any other network. I don't see ESPN networks leaving YTTV or any other streaming service.

Because ESPN is one of the last holdouts that you literally can’t get unless you have “cable”
