    Wait, what?! No FSO on youtube tv anymore?

    That's a HUGE deal breaker.

    Unbelievable. Two days notice, and right before baseball season.

    So that leaves Playstation Vue, which has nothing to do with the Sony Playstation, Sling, what else is out there?

    Any recommendations?

    Pretty much the same price, same channels as YTtv, but no AMC, just a heads up to anyone who may want that.

    I saw that. No AMC is a problem.

    If you have Amazon Prime for example, you can just buy shows by the season for ~15-20 dollars, or per episode for 2-3 dollars. Unless I hear of something better, I may go the Hulu Live route, supplemented w/ AMC shows purchased ala carte.

    Playstation Vue died off in January. I switched over to YouTube TV as a result. Already cancelled my Youtube TV, even though I liked the service, but no FSO is huge.

    Same here as far as switching from PS Vue. My understanding is that Sling lost FSO and the other RSNs last year for the same reason. If that's accurate, they're also not an option.

    This is really awful news, because I really enjoyed switching over to YouTubeTV from PS Vue myself. The interface has been nothing short of outstanding. With PS Vue no longer an option, I guess it's Hulu Live or I go crawling back to Spectrum. I am pretty annoyed right now.

    Yep. It's why I left them last year and went to YouTubeTV (lol). I have a Hulu Live account (just not active). Looks like I may be switching again. Not going to make the wife happy (lol).

    So who do you believe in this dispute? ... https://variety.com/2020/digital/new...rk-1203518191/

    As part of its Twitter thread, YouTube TV also said, “We do not take this decision lightly. This is a reflection of the rising cost of sports content.” It didn’t give any indication of passing the savings on to customers of the $50-per-month service, however.

    In a statement, Sinclair spokesman Ronn Torossian said the broadcaster “offered YouTube TV the best terms under which their competitors carry our regional sports networks. Unfortunately, they alone decided to drop these channels citing ‘rising costs’ despite our offer to actually lower the fees they pay us.” He also said Sinclair offered YouTube TV a short-term extension while both sides continue negotiating but that YouTube has not yet responded to that offer.
    Sports programming is the most expensive content in the TV biz. Dish, for one, will save around $400 million per year by not carrying the Sinclair-owned RSNs, according to an estimate from LightShed principal analyst Rich Greenfield in a recent blog post.

    I don't think Sling has regional FSNs.
