Transcribe to realistic terms- 

 

“Celebrate the return of your content! Disney wanted a bigger cut, and so we will pass it on to you in the years to come. Capitalism. Freedom!”

Hilarious! Was just flipping around thru the channels and suddenly there’s ESPN again. Was I dreaming? Did someone just forget to flip the switch??  Total idiots!

Good my free month of ESPN will be the only one I have.

Remember you have to claim it, its not automatic.  Im still changing the channel from ESPN when SAS and the rest of the idiots come on.

True, but honestly, the price would go up regardless, espn or not. I look at it this way - I switched to YouTube TV because I was paying almost $200/month for directv and had to have all their annoying boxes and cables hooked up to every TV in my house(not to mention the dish itself outside) . I'm paying $85/month for YouTube TV, which is considerably less and have access on all my other tvs and devices with no hassle. While nobody wants price increases, there's something to be said for convenience

I read someplace about entire Disney/ESPN plan is now included.  Not sure what the extra parts exactly are??

 

As for price I'm thinking, Disney gave a bit of a price break to YTTV for the first year and YTTV will also eat part of the cost increase initially and will announce a modest price early in 2026.  Then in 2027 have a bigger price increase.

Definitely gotta do what works best for you. Just always feels like a constant shafting from the man.

$200 a month is crazy. I'm actually paying more for YouTubeTV then I was for regular Fios cable. I switched because I liked the ability to record/pause and watch on multiple devices.
