Part 7/9:
With Disney and ESPN channels unavailable on YouTube TV, many viewers have turned to alternative methods. Services like Sling TV offer "day passes"—a pay-per-day option costing around $5 to $10—allowing fans to catch specific games temporarily. Others rely on antennas or bundle deals that include local channels, which are often more cost-effective and reliable.
Moreover, the blackout has led to frustrations with the inability to access previously recorded content. Viewers reporting that recordings on YouTube TV featuring ESPN or Disney content are now inaccessible further compound the issue, disrupting fans’ ability to watch sports on their schedule.
