YouTubeTV losing Fox Regional

[18in32]

As of the end of this month, YouTubeTV will no longer carry the YES Network (Yankees) or Fox Regional Sports networks.

Hi there,
Our goal with YouTube TV is to offer you the content you love, delivered the way you want.
To make this happen, we need to enter into deals with our partners. Unfortunately, we have been unable to reach an agreement with Sinclair to continue to carry the FOX Regional Sports Networks and YES Network.
Starting February 29, 2020, you will no longer be able to watch live, on demand, or recorded content from your local FOX Regional Sports Network or YES Network.
Please know that we do not take this decision lightly. We value your membership and will continue to strive to build the best streaming experience possible.
Sincerely,
The YouTube TV team

Do our football games end up on those channels much (if at all) anymore? I'm not good at keeping up with that sort of stuff.

That is a fairly big deal and cause for re-evaluating my subscription.

I would say Fox SS (Sports South) would be a definite yes. I'm not sure how many games last season.

Most Braves games would probably be affected, too, I would think.

Same tactics that cable/satellite companies use to negotiate with content providers.

I'm hoping this is just a slap fight and the channels are restored in a few days after this little power struggle. If not, I'm switching to Hulu.

Same. I need a way to watch Braves games.

That sucks. Love my Braves!

I hope this somehow ends with MLB Network on Hulu.

 

[MeatWrench]

I bailed on Sling last year bc they dropped Fox Sports regional. Hulu answered the bell.

 

[BigT]

Looks like it is back to Hulu.

 

[JoeCakeEater]

I will 100% switch if regional fox networks are not restored before baseball season. Literally the reason I chose YouTubeTV over some cheaper alternatives.

 

[savbandjacket]

I’ll be switching to Hulu if that is the case

 

[BainbridgeJacket]

Hulu’s user interface is horrendous. Guess I’ll stick with it though.

 

[33jacket]

Yeah hulu menus suck

thank god for no contracts. Can switch month to month if the channel comes back

 

[savbandjacket]

Hulu’s user interface is horrendous. Guess I’ll stick with it though.

So is YouTube’s. I miss PSVue.

PSVue was awesome.

 

[AugustaJacket]

Hulu service has been good for us (August 2019) but the TV interface is essentially the same as the PC web interface and I agree it’s severely lacking.

get to watch Letterkenny though
