If YouTubeTV dropped NESN I would lose it.

Like, you can get us if you have cable or pay us $10 a month directly, no other middlemen. NESN already has an app, it would be super easy to implement, I imagine.
But the games are tied into the individual sport packages (i.e. NESN is part of MLB Extra Innings). I'm guessing that agreement prevents independent availability.Monkey_Driven wrote:This will definitely happen.Simple Torture wrote:I hate to say it out loud, but regional sports networks seem like they'd be the next outlet to jump into streaming independently.

They'll figure something out if they lose enough cable subscribers.CopperTom wrote:But the games are tied into the individual sport packages (i.e. NESN is part of MLB Extra Innings).

If I could someday subscribe to Fox Sports South, I would definately cut the cord. I view that as doubtful.Monkey_Driven wrote:They'll figure something out if they lose enough cable subscribers.CopperTom wrote:But the games are tied into the individual sport packages (i.e. NESN is part of MLB Extra Innings).

Strat, temporary extension in place while they work on an agreement ... sorry, dunno how to embed a tweet via phoneStrat wrote:Hey guys.
So, my parents got rid of Direct Tv due to cost. They ended up utilizing YouTube Tv and really loved it. One of the main things was that they were bale to watch Fox Sports North and all the hockey games (Go wild!). However, YouTube TV is dropping FSN and im thinking they'll know want to switch services.
HulU tv apparently has this channel. I've never seen or used Hulu TV but is it pretty much the same concept? Will they get all of their local news channels etc?

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Did you think the current price would last forever? A $15 bump isn't too bad.Simple Torture wrote:YouTube TV was fun while it lasted:
I agree that I was being a little dramatic. But they keep adding and adding channels; the draw of YTTV when I started was that it was pretty bare-bones. There are just so few options that involve our regional sports network that I can imagine the price of this plus internet being close to my former cable package in another year's time.Monkey_Driven wrote:Did you think the current price would last forever?
