Spectrum and ESPN fail to agree

[GTRambler]

GT fans who use Spectrum won’t be able to watch tomorrow night’s GT-Louisville football season opener on ESPN. Unless the two companies come to an agreement very soon …

Fubo free trial maybe

Sounds like you better get to the stadium!

YouTube TV is awesome. Kinda pricey now but it’s worth it.

 

[GTRambler]

YouTube TV doesn’t carry the Atlanta Braves (Bally Sports South/Southeast).

Well, that just ruined my day. Hopefully they will get it resolved before kickoff tomorrow. Otherwise, I will probably have to watch from one of the bootleg streaming sites.

 

[inknerd]

Anyone know if it'll be on HuluTV?

 

[cpf2001]

I’m surprised something so public happened this soon even as a negotiation tactic but there’s probably a LOT of cable customers with very little interest in ESPN and sports and eventually some cable co or streamer will pivot to focusing just on them.

And ESPN is gonna be really screwed when that day comes.

You and me both gonna be on some filthy streaming site. Ah well, we can hose off afterwards.

I’ve been told that there is this site called onlyfans.com that has tons of streaming options for fans of pretty much anything. Maybe we can find a good quality stream on there?

This was great advice! Thank you! Everyone should check this out. Well worth it.

Hate to suggest my dirty little ways, but I used to create dummy emails for free trail accounts for YouTube TV that last a couple weeks (or they used to, haven’t done this in awhile). Cancel them before getting charged, repeat until football season ends.

If streaming was somehow a mom and pop business I would never do this, but I have zero remorse here.

Interesting. Shall I fire up the company laptop to check it out?

I tried, but then my IT guy showed up and took away my computer

If ESPN goes streaming, you can kiss them goodbye for 9 months of the year. For the average fan at least. I only watch them when Tech is on, so I will wish them adios.

If that doesn't work, I've heard that Twitter, which is now "X", has a sister streaming site as well now. Think it's called xvideos or something like that.

 

[g0lftime]

They also

They also are not carrying the SEC Network so I suspect a lot of their fans will be very unhappy with ESPN. I already pay a lot for spectrum tv. This may push me to streaming.

Indeed. I literally only see BSPN when they have a game on that I can't watch literally anywhere else. Their content(sic) is plain terrible otherwise.

If that doesn't work, I've heard that Twitter, which is now "X", has a sister streaming site as well now. Think it's called xvideos or something like that.

Spoiler: Mods rn

Lol. It was this time last year when Dish had an issue with the ACCN. I subscribed to the Disney+ package (that included Hulu and ESPN+) trying to get the game – none had it. I ended up watching the game on my daughter’s YouTube TV subscription. Fast forward 12 months and I have cut the cord and use YouTube TV to consume TV content. I wonder what percentage of people cut the cord based on these types of impasses.
