I may temporarily add Sling Blue. Not ideal, and brings monthly spend to $70.

Maybe I'm missing something or it's just not gonna impact me but so they lose the regional FSN - Southwest (here in NOLA) and the YES Station (believe that's Yankees baseball).
So that's it?

So that just means no Pelicans games and Yankees games? Am I missing something?

Former Atlanta guy here but the Hawks season is pretty much over. As for Braves, do you happen to have TMobile? If so, you get MLB.tv for free every year.

I use that to watch the Braves here in New Orleans.

I hear ya, I could see if I lived in ATL and wanted to watch Braves/Hawks. Living in NOLA, I don't care for LSU and the Pelicans, meh. So doesn't impact me I guess but I could see where some would be mad.

Speak for yourself. I’m fine with them adding those channels on for people as a separate package but I watch about 5 channels on YouTube tv. If they go up on price again I’m cutting the cord completely

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


Well I'd much rather they drop fox sports regional than up the price. Cuts both ways.

Huh? I said I'd rather they drop the channel than up the price.

Never said anything about dropping the price.

Is this some weird "A" thread where everybody is either a Braves or Tide fan?

I still have AT&T Now (formerly Directv Now). I’ve had it since it came out so I still have a good discount built in. But it may be worth checking out for y’all especially if you have att cell phone service bc you can get a discount. It’s a little pricey without the discounts but the channel lineup is better than any other I can find. I’ve almost switched to YouTube tv a few times and I think the lack of nick Jr was the reason I didn’t make the leap last time. I’m pissed about the price hikes recently but it won’t save me anything still to switch.

Question, does this affect Fox 8, the local channel in Nola also? My wife is a big Masked Singer fan and she’d be pretty pissed if she can’t watch every week.

I have the grandfathered plan still also, but their new plans do not have a lot of the channels we have so I’m not sure it would be worth it.

Edit to add that if you have Spectrum internet they have a $15 a month tv plan that uses an app and has a good amount of channels. No DVR and I don’t think you can pause, ff or rewind, but if you are watching the games live it could be an option.
