On Thursday, YouTube TV announced that they couldn’t come to a new carriage agreement for the Fox RSNs with Sinclair, and that they’d all be pulled, effective as of Saturday, February 29th.

Wife is gonna be pissed. Fantastic layout. We’ve loved it since switching over from PS Vue.

I have no clue what to do.

Huge baseball fan (MLB Network - YouTube TV). Huge OKC Thunder fan (FSN - Hulu Live). Huge Better Call Saul fan (AMC - YTTV).

Please help.

thats kinda the point. make cutting the cable a miserable experience where you're constantly jumping from service to service to chase down access to the channels you want

Better call saul, while not live...you can still watch on netflix later.

We all knew this was going to happen with all these streaming services coming out. Its just going to be a circle with people coming back to cable eventually.

I'm not really sure why YoutubeTV wouldn't just pony up for whatever Sinclair was asking for. I'm sure it was unreasonable, but they are going to lose a ton of subscribers because of this (myself included). Even if they just bumped the price up to $60/month, I don't think it would have the negative impact losing Fox will to their subscriber base.

yep...I would absolutely pay $60 if it meant keeping local sports. Braves and Hawks alone are probably 60% of my viewing.

I was paying $65 for PS Vue at the end. Would have paid without thinking twice.
