TV 19 - Simpsons Did It

YouTube TV and Disney couldn’t reach an agreement last night, so YouTube no longer has ABC, the Disney channels, the three FX, or any ESPNs.

Surprised they let this one lapse, despite whatever highball Disney was offering. Bowl season is just beginning, conference season will start soon for basketball, and Hulu is likely the landing place for anyone jumping ship, which is owned by Disney.

Google, through YouTube, seemed resigned to the fact that a deal may not get done and has dropped their service price $15, conveniently just enough to sign up for the basic Disney Bundle (D+, E+, and Hulu w/ ads).

I think streaming ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNNews, and ESPNU still requires a TV service, or (formerly YouTube+TV) FuBo+TV or Hulu+TV.

It does. ESPN+ still has some live sports, but it doesn't match what's on the channel without a subscription. Essentially anything on broadcast isn't available solely on ESPN+.

I would have to think this gets resolved by NYE. The regular bowls are one thing, but I can only imagine the number of people who will move to a different service if they can't watch the playoff games or spend New Years Day watching football.

I'm going to give them a week and then it's Hulu or back to Xfinity. X has a pretty good deal for 135 channels and 400Mbps for $89 the first year with a 2 year deal. Glad I wasn't able to stay up last night for the whole JMU/NDSU game or I woulda been p***ed when the screen went blank at midnight.
 
W3 is one of those AAAs that are once every four or five years. Plus the lack of DLC monetization was nice. As were the relatively inexpensive expansions.
 
The YoutubeTV/Disney spat only lasted a day and a half. That it only made it through one Saturday of bowl games and was resolved prior to MNF tomorrow is probably a sign that Disney won this round.
 
The Girl Before. 4-part HBO series that was brilliant in parts but sadly both the obvious and not so obvious parts of the finale were dreadful. Sad.
 
Station Eleven. The pilot was OK, with some seeds of possible interest. Dr. Mrs. says the book is fantastic. It does run a high risk of "the same old cliche domestic drama but in an SF setting" which will make it a guaranteed hit but a waste of airtime. Hopefully they didn't go in that direction. We'll see. The cinematography is Emmy-bait anyway.
