Didn't get much notice (none, in fact) so I just cancelled Sling and am using YouTube TV free trial, instead.
Dish lost all the ESPN channels as well as SEC and I think ACC network. According to the guy on dish, ESPN has risen their prices to make up for the losses on other Disney streaming services. F*CK!
Yeah...kind of woke up to the news with Sling. I figure they will hammer out a new deal and screw over consumers with new pricing to make it up. Sling is giving me 'Sling Blue' for free on top of my 'Sling Orange' subscription for the hassle...not sure I'll watch any of those channels, though. I'll give them a week and go watch tonight's game at the local watering hole. If it stretches to next week, I'll probably try the free trial on YouTube TV or look at other packages. Corporate greed strikes again.
Hell even if none of my streaming services are carrying the game, I have been able to catch almost every LSU game for the last 2 seasons with a regular ol' Youtube search... Hasn't let me down yet.
The mousehouse is playin hardass with Dish/Sling. Its no accident that they have contract end at start of season. Since they are direct competitors, guessing Diz wants a premium.
That and they own HULU. Trying to drive people to it and to Disney+ package. And yes D is and has been jacking up prices for a while now.A couple of 3-4 years ago you could the whole package for the cost of ESPN+ today. I'd drop it but it's the only way I can see both App State and LSU every week. I guess ad revenue is falling too much to support anything these days.
