I don't think it's official yet. Either way, that's the best part of streaming. Say bye to the idiots at yttv until they figure it out and go to another streamer for a few months. Then, when the new one acts like idiots, go somewhere else. No contracts, it's great!

It's not official at all. This happened with NBC and YouTube TV in September and they reached a deal at last minute.

Deadline is Friday. I think Youtube TV knows they need alll the ESPNs plus the other Disney owned networks so they will be motivated to settle. I just hope Disney isn't asking for a ridiculous amount. Given how much ESPN pays for rights these days and how many talking heads they send to major events (how many ESPN types do we really need be be on site at the CFP?), I worry that they are asking for a small fortune. I suspect the dispute might go past Friday and we'll lose a few days of ESPN, but eventually the two parties will come to an agreement. sooner rather than later.

It benefits both parties to settle. It comes down to how much $$ will line each pocket. Typical negotiations drama…..it makes for good theater and can be useful when explaining why costs are increasing and passed on to the customer.

Even if a deal is reached by Friday that does not please folks' sensibilities and likings, it's nice to know there are other streaming options.

Personally, I'm pretty content with FuboTV at the moment, which prioritizes sports.

I'm a YouTubeTV subscriber ... was planning on canceling after the NFL season is over anyway and take the spring/summer off until football starts up again. My family turns on YouTubeTV maybe 3 times all summer. I guess this will just move up the timeline.

We canceled our cable TV after they told us our bill would go up if we canceled our house phone (which was never used). Switched to YoutubeTV and loved it. After the third price increase we canceled that too. Honestly, with Netflix, Prime and Hulu we have more than enough to watch without live TV. Come sports season I just stream the games on sports surge. It's choppy but I love the price (free).

Shows what I know!! I did not think they would actually call each other’s bluff.

Look in the mirror dude. You are the kind of person that has zero friends. Now off to watch whatever polarizing political shows you just love.
I watch lemon and Scarborough don’t really think they are polarizing.

So, what you say doesn't matter after 4 days?
Dude that is like bringing up a random conversation out of the blue. I made a quick sarcastic comment and now people want to Harp on it. Well do what you wish.

I was in Myrtle Beach in July and chose not to go to your place because of your political posts here. Normally I would make it a point to spend money at a fellow alumni place. I will also tell friends the same. It matters. ✌

I think this will be temporary, happened a few times with Direct TV stream (formerly At&T Tv). Price will probably go up.

What politics on this thread offended you so much ? My posts on here do not reflect on my business as I’m sure your thoughts and posts do not reflect on yours.

Not this thread. Years of your posts. My posts on here reflect on my life. That's why I post.

I didn’t know on 3 was around for years. I did have fun for a while on the test board but those days are over.
That’s ok. You keep eating at great restaurants like millers ale house and I’m sure the staff is delighted by your 10 percent tip. At least I don’t hide behind my screen name. People know who I am and what I do. Been on the rivals site and this site since 1996.
Take care pearl.

Ok cool. I never insulted you but would expect that from you. Let me know when you buy your place in State College and I won't go there as well. I'll also pass it on to my friends. ✌
