ESPN/Charter dispute could be the end of televised sports as we know it!

[PalsPal]

This is LONG but it's worth the read if you like to watch televised sports.

And if you don't, nobody cares so don't waste our time with your virtue signaling.

So unlike virtually every other carriage dispute we've seen, when ESPN's games being pulled made fans furious and the resulting threats terrified the cable companies, the Charter people are actually encouraging you to go sign up for YouTube TV or whatever other streaming service you want to use. Why? Because they make more money off broadband, they don't really care about their cable business any more.

Don't have time at time the moment to read it but ABC and DirecTV are in a tizzy too so no football on abc and it sucks!

Sign up for YouTubeTV. You can cancel at any time.

Dropped Direct TV before the Tennessee game because of channel 6. I got fubo for less than half what I was paying direct and have every sports channel I could think of....

I have a Hulu account. I've had no trouble streaming espn programming with Spectrum internet. When I load the espn app, it says Powered by Hulu. I've heard people were having trouble streaming espn alone with Spectrum.

Same with Hulu. I have Hulu, and considered going to YouTube. I think YouTube is a few bucks more, but otherwise, they're about the same. It's like Coke/Pepsi. Can't go wrong with either.

As soon as possible I am going to dump dish.

Dropped direct tv last week. Got Holston TV (through Holston electric) streaming. Paying less for all the channels(excluding pay channels) plus fiber optic internet through holston electric than I was for just direct tv. No contract, Im still going to investigate other streaming packages for better choices and less money.
