They’ll work it out. They have to. No streaming service can make it without carrying ESPN and ESPN knows that. The thing that sucks is that the increased cost will just be passed to the subscribers.
Don't panic. It'll be resolved soon.
I can’t believe they went through with it. Frankly the only reason we have YouTube at all is for live sports, and they already dropped the regional Fox/Bally stations a while back. Without ESPN, they’re essentially worthless to me
What we should be discussing is why are we forced to buy crap we don't want just to have ESPN. And why isn't ESPN/Disney/ABC priced the exact same price for all TV providers, size it's the exact same content.
Is Hulu the best alternative?

Doesn’t Disney own Hulu? Strategery…Just lost ESPN on mine. Guess I’ll be switching to Hulu.
Honestly, I’d pay $15-$20 a month for the ESPN/ESPN+ family of channels alone. I have to feel like that’s coming at some point.
Putting on my tin foil hat here.. but Disney has a 67% ownership stake in Hulu and a small ownership stake in FubuTV. Don’t think it’s too unreasonable to say that Disney is the one playing hardball here with YouTube TV
Out of curiosity, what is the deal with needing these physical receivers? Do they not have apps like everyone else?
Yeah YouTube needs to hurry up and get this figured out. Started my 7 day Hulu trial and not a fan of their guide. Guess I am just used to youtubetv
