This is the last year of DirecTV's deal. They have no interest renewing. Apple and Amazon are the rumored frontrunners.

I got the package for free these past 3 years. I'll miss DirecTV when it goes out of business.

YouTube tv appears to be losing nbc so bye bye football for me.

Yeah this is stupid

I guess letting Comcast buy NBC wasn't good for consumers?

[bada]

I was looking into Hulu live their DVR service sounds horrible. You gotta watch the fucking commercials or pay $10 more a month!!!!

[Monkey_Driven]

The latest rumor is that NBC wants YouTube to include a subscription to Peacock in the new rights agreement.

Letting Google dodge anti-trust charges through renaming themselves "Alphabet" probably wasnt great either.

Hi bada,

We’re thrilled to share that we’ve reached a deal with NBCUniversal to continue carrying the full NBCUniversal portfolio of channels, including their Regional Sports Networks and your local NBC station. That means you won’t lose access to any of their channels, and YouTube TV will continue to offer 85+ networks for $64.99* per month.

‌We appreciate NBCUniversal’s willingness to work toward an agreement, and we also appreciate your patience while we negotiated with them on your behalf. Thanks again for being a YouTube TV member.

‌Sincerely,
The YouTube TV team

what is the asterisk

[bodysnatcher]

Probably the base price, bc you can have add ons or movie purchases that would change your monthly price. If I had to guess.

i thought it meant bada's price was inflated due to steroids

what is the asterisk

if you're on a promotional rate that's less than 64.99 they're still honoring that

[lennytheweedwhacker]

I just got my monthly statement and a deal i've had applied for awhile just expired, so the new amount solidifies that this is no longer worth it for me. I'd already been very close to cutting the cord a month or so back. I was very happily surprised at how much my internet will be. I'm leaning Hulu over YouTube right now, but the beauty of both is of course the ability to cancel and swap with no additional charges.

Hi baba,
We have held good faith negotiations with Disney for several months. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, we were unable to reach an equitable agreement before our existing one expired.

As of December 17, 2021, end of day Eastern Time, all Disney-owned channels, including ESPN and your local ABC station, are unavailable on YouTube TV. Members will not be able to watch live or local content from Disney and will also lose access to any previous Library recordings from these channels, including 4K content that is available as part of the 4K Plus add-on.

We will be decreasing our monthly price by $15, from $64.99 to $49.99, for the Base Plan while this content remains off of our platform. No action is needed on your part. A credit of $15 per month will automatically be issued. Once content is unavailable, this credit will be applied to your next bill after December 17 and will only be visible to family managers in Settings > Billing after the charge has taken place. Please note that if you have a promotional price with YouTube TV, you can still expect a $15 credit. Members who are in a paused state will receive this credit one month after their first charge.

Should we come to an agreement with Disney, we will adjust the price accordingly and will notify members via email beforehand. For the full list of Disney-owned channels that are no longer available on YouTube TV and for additional information or updates, please visit this webpage.
We know this is frustrating news, and it is not the outcome we wanted. We will continue conversations with Disney to advocate on your behalf in hopes of restoring their content on YouTube TV.

Thank you for being a YouTube TV member and for your patience and understanding.

Sincerely,
The YouTube TV team

Cut it off in the middle of the Lakers/T Wolves game last night. They'll be back sooner rather than later, but still annoying.

[bada]

I might give Hulu Live a chance but you gotta pay extra to skip commercials on the DVR and that burns my ass so I might give youtubetv a couple weeks to figure this out.
