BREAKING YouTube.TV drops Disney/ESPN/ABC & an alternate

[Padreruf]

I’m giving Sling a chance again, but when Disney eventually comes knocking on their door, I’m done.

I low-key hate the leverage Disney has been allowed to acquire and at some point, avoiding giving them my money will likely mean not seeing the games.

C’est la vie…

It is easy to hate Disney/ESPN -- their tab for college sports is all out of whack and they are hemorrhagng money. Google owns YTTV and has far more money than Disney. What we don't know is if Disney is sticking it to YTTV or just trying to make them pay what others pay.

Either way we know who are the losers.

Exactly. It's only a matter of time until it's Sling's turn to be on the receiving end of the abuse from Disney. It's happened with every other service

If memory serves me right, last year when ESPN did this with DirecTV, the problem was ironed out in less than a week.

I did a free trial of YouTubeTV then just in case so I wouldn't miss the games, but before my "free week" expired, DirecTV and ESPN made up.

I suspect it'll happen this way with the fighting couple like last time.

I'm going to suffer through today by watching Fox, CBS and NBC.
