Blackout Looms of ESPN on YouTubeTV

Outdated by the return of ESPN to YTTV but still an interesting read on our collective sports addiction and a call to rise up the next time it happens.

"We're no longer customers. We're lab rats. And somehow, we keep devouring the cheese."

Will Sports Fans Take a Stand as the ESPN, YouTube TV Dispute Continues

Would sports fans ever find the courage in themselves to organize a blackout of their own during the ESPN, YouTube TV carriage dispute

This is not totally clear but this "may" mean that ESPN Unllmited special events, such as WWE, may be available to YTTV subscribers as a separate channel on the YTTV Guide rather than needing to exit the YTTV app and opening the ESPN app, thus allowing easier "channel surfing" and even the ability to DVR. We shall see.

 
Although this article says the agreement allows YTTV to "ingest" [include as channels] all of the content of ESPN Unlimited, I am skeptical. There is just too much available live at the same time on the ESPN app, e.g., all of the ESPN+ content, for it to make sense. But they may include a lot, especially special events like WWE.
