YoutubeTV vs Disney Dispute

[Alaskan Ram]

Why are ESPN, ABC not on YouTube TV? Here are college football games affected by dispute

Why are ESPN, ABC and Disney channels not on YouTube TV? Here are the games you won't be able to watch on Saturday.

www.usatoday.com

I launched YouTubeTV today to watch some college football. I finally have a slow Saturday and I was looking forward to watching the Texas vs Vanderbilt game to see if Arch is still improving.

Quickly discovered a very, very small slate of games available, and thought, what the fuckin' fuck???

Above article tells the story.

The situation sucks. YouTubeTV is expensive enough. I think I'm held hostage with it in order to keep watching Rams games. Maybe I can dial back the plan if more programming pulls out. Need to look up the minimum bundle in order to keep the Sunday Ticket. Honestly, I was so excited beginning of year when my Sunday Ticket auto renewed, I forgot to see what the heck I paid for it.

I digress.....moving on, we do also have Disney+. So I switched over to that app, and realize my current bundle has ESPN Select instead of ESPN Unlimited - - meaning, I don't get the live ESPN Channels. Need to pony up another $12 a month. (insert more profanity of your choice here....)

I'm not seeing a resolution coming on this for ESPN and ABC Channels to return to YoutubeTV.

How many subscriptions do you have to have these days to make sure you don't miss a live football game? FUCKITY FUCK FUCK.
Go Rams.

This is partially a result of forcing the break up of monopolies
The big players have manipulated the system “surprise” and we now get served to death to acquire the programming that serves our needs.

It sucks, not a fan of Disney or it’s giant umbrella of specialized media services
