YouTubeTV Now Disney Free

[PGage]

They sent us an email warning this might happen a couple of days ago, and it happened last night (rudely yanking a Laker game in progress). I did not realize it would mean we would lose access to Disney conten we had archived.

YTTV is refunding us about 23% of the base subscription price per month, which is fair, but also seems like their way of emphasizing just how much it costs to get ESPN in the basic package.

“The companies are fighting over distribution fees for the Disney channels. A sticking point is YouTube TV's request for a clause that would guarantee it pays the same rate as distributors of a similar size, according to people familiar with the matter.”--

Crap. Just realized this means I have lost access to Jeopardy! I usually watch the whole week on Friday night or Saturday morning, so I guess I missed the concluding week of the Professors Tournament. 

I was philosophical about loosing some NFL and NBA games, but now I’m pissed.

The social snark amounts to "The Mouse says, 'Well, we own Hulu, go there.', amounting to a Big Eff-You."     B

And somehow I got all of the week’s Jeopardy!’s back except Friday, even though they did black out till after (I thought)
