ESPN Is Back On DISH

Disney bought Fox recently too, CBS is the only thing stoping them from having a monopoly.
As others have mentioned they outages will continue to happen because Disney will continue to squeeze harder on tv providers.
Fans will pay the cost of that.

I hopr the fans will stay with their providers when this happens. No matter if its a cable company or streaming service. Those POSs make a tonnof money everytime they pull this crap and we all run to a different service.

I honestly hope that iny lifetime they become defunct...regardless of their political agenda. Their business practices are enough for me to wish for that to happen.

I have Dish with sports package and pay $6 a month extra for ESPN+ just so I can watch all Lady Vol basketball and softball as well as UT mid week baseball. I have noticed that ESPN+ has a lot of small college sports events that probably have very few viewers and they still have to pay for production costs and announcers. Their streaming service is garbage and we are having to subsidize all of this drivel unwatched sports events that they put on. I predict they will come crashing down someday and hope some company will pick up the pieces. I just hope the crash comes in the summer when college sports are idle.

Disney is gone for me. Their Streaming channel sucks losing tons of money then Disney leverages college football to subsidize their woke agenda. The SEC and college football as a whole sold their soul Disney.

It was a hard decision with 3 kids under 6 years old and 2 girls who love princess movies and mickey mouse, but my wife and I decided to finally cut ties with Disney. We can't support a company that puts out the things they put out with a clear conscious.

ESPN has always pulled this stuff. It only got worse when they joined Disney. I'm with Dish on this one. They are they only thing keeping prices in check at all.

I'm with dish on the dispute for sure, and I am sure ESPN/Disney was leveraging them to the hilt. I want to leave Dish for other reasons, namely that I don't need the great majority of the 800+ channels I am paying for and they are IMO greatly overpriced.

I am long past due for "pulling the cord" and going 100% streaming

I'm on Sling, which Dish owns. It's certainly the cheapest streaming option for live tv. Most folks on here seem to prefer YouTube TV though.

YouTube was recommended to me. I have Googlefiber for internet, so I am going to look into Google TV also.

I also have ESPN+ through Verizon (my phone provider). The only problem with ESPN+ is it doesn't buffer the games, so no freezing the game or playback. That's a pretty big liability these days lol

Remember, you'll need a cable login to watch anything on the main network through the app. ESPN+ doesn't cover that. Sling has a built in dvr, I assume YTTV does too. I haven't looked at Google tv. Fubo also looks good. But it doesn't have TNT/TBS and that's a deal breaker for me.
