And don’t get me wrong, DIRECTV is a piece of shit but so is Disney. Just saying this will happen on all of them when contract renewal time comes around.

If you take the number of network/broadcast ownership groups x number of streaming/cable services = a hell of a lot of contracts. Someone is going to have disagreement somewhere. I dont want to do that math |

Spectrum did this same shit last year with Disney at the start of the college football season.
Disney(ESPN, ABC, Hulu, Star Wars, Ur Mom lol) are the bullies on the block I did switch to Hulu Live and it included Disney Plus and ESPN+ for 76/month. No issues since I bent the knee to the mouse. |

I'm on the fence about this. The last year I had ST (2022) all but two of the games I paid those ****ers for were broadcast locally. So last year I dumped it after more than two decades, thinking it would be more of the same, but I ended up missing five or six games. But I still got a lot more than I missed.
I really like the idea of not paying for it, though. Tired of these money-grubbing billionaire shitbags doing everything possible to fleece me, and the idea of paying extra to watch something that's half commercials has always pissed me off. And I'm sure most, if not all, of the truly meaningful games will either be shown in prime time or presented as the marquee matchup of the day. Especially with the whole quest for the threepeat thing. So probably season 2 of no ST. |

I signed up for YouTube TV… and now may cancel my DirecTV Stream.
Brilliant strategy to get into another carriage pissing match, DirecTV. |

It's almost like they want you to use pirate streams.
Cool, I'm more than happy to oblige them. |

When you can get NFL Redzone on your phone and live within the Chiefs televised broadcast this is pointless.

I’m counting on the Chiefs are the Champs and Taylor Swift promos to get more free air on free commercial tv. I watched almost every game last year, FREE.

Disney is to blame. I fully expect them to play games on the next YouTube TV contract, basically forcing YouTube TV out of business. Drag all the YTTV customers into the Disney-owned Hulu Live with an artificially lower price. And then jack up the prices on Hulu Live by some insane number when there is no longer any competition. That is Disney's end game over the next decade.
