Appears this issue is fixed but I still don't have my local ABC station back.
YouTube TV Getting Ability to Split Into 4 Screens
- Thread starter cyfanatic
- Start date
If that happened, Google got fleeced in the negotiations. Dropping plans for an all-sports package that would bring in billions to include some ESPN+ content doesn’t seem like a feasible trade.
Would love to see an all sports package but highlt
Doubt Fox, ESPN, etc would ever license to that entity because it jams stations like FX and **** no one watches into the current streaming model. And that’s good financially for them.
That’s awesome if true about ESPN+. I’d love if I could watch that stuff on YTTV.
I think it means at end of 2026 at the latest.
Also, for the people who still don’t have abc and espn, you may need to go into the customize setting and turn them back on, that’s what I had to do
Per my link in a later post, YTTV did maintain rights to launch an all sports package including ESPN networks as a result of this negotiation. Seems like great news for Google.
I'll be really happy if it comes to fruition that all of the ESPN+ content is available "for free" and integrated into the YTTV interface.
I wonder if we’ll ever hear about the long term impacts of this. In the streaming age, moving from one provider to another is so easy that I’d guess YTTV saw a lot of defections, but most will be just 1 month or shorter blips. I know I plan to go back to YTTV next month. What this month has shown me is just how crappy the multiple app life is. ESPN Ultimate seems great, but I have to have the ESPN app, the Disney app, the HBO app, and the NFL app to watch everything I want to. And all those apps are for just two subscriptions. Plus, only with the ESPN app can you just watch a channel. Everything else is episode by episode and that’s really annoying for watching sports.
This NBCSN channel is now live. You may have to go into your Live Guide listings and "Unhide" it.

Sounds like Fully Customizable Multi-View is coming:
FYI don't know if this is available for everyone but YTTV had a $20 off the base plan for the next 4 months promotion on my account.
1. Go to your YTTV Settings
2. Then Membership
3. Under "Your Plan" hit the "Manage" button
4. If you have the Promotion offered to you it should be on this page.

Dang...not offered for me! I think I have taken a $10 discount that lasted 6 months a year or so ago...probably know I already benefited from this type of thing?
Yeah don't know how they determine who gets the promotion or not. Might be by the amount of time of your last promotion used, money spent, length of continuous membership, or something else. Not sure.
Bump for those who didn't see this this morning.
Same. I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that I did claim the discount they offered in the fall during the ESPN outage? Maybe you can only have a discount every X months or something like that.
Seems like that will cover everything I need, and I like the YTTV interface. This is going to be my go to for football and basketball season. Will still plan to drop it during the off-season.
