BIG NEWS: YouTube TV to drop CBS, Paramount channels
- Thread starter CTListener
- Start date
I’ve never been happier to have Paramount Plus
With NFL Sunday Ticket done until September, I'm thinking about switching to DirecTV Stream. Sports is the only reason I pay for streaming video in the first place.
I got the email about 6:30 pm Denver time. KCNC (CBS Colorado) is an O&O and thus definitely affected. I still could get it off-the-air but won't have recording ability. According to the email, any recordings archived in the YouTube "library" will be affected as well.
No crawl or any other warning so far on CBS affiliate WCAX Burlington, VT. Will see what happens at midnight.
I haven't seen anything on KCNC but I only watch the "CBS Colorado" news if KUSA (9News) isn't running a newscast at the usual times. KCNC news comes across as surprisingly small market for something that's in one of the top 20 markets.
Going from Hartford news to Burlington news was a real shock to me when I moved up here three years ago. Burlington is a first-job-out-of-college TV news market, and it shows. WCAX's staff is easily the best of the three stations that do news. The NBC (WPTZ) and Fox (WFFF) newscasts are hard to watch. (Vermont has no ABC affiliate; YouTube carries WMUR Manchester, NH's news.)
The crawl is running right now as Colbert begins. It says that YTTV may be dropping 22 (!) channels at midnight. Yikes!
There's also nothing on the CBS stations' site. I wonder if the O&Os even know.
Edit: Based on what @CTListener just posted, it appears they're just now getting the word out.
Nothing about it on KCNC as of 9:45 pm Denver time.

Why do I gedt the feeling this is as fake as ABC thinking of doing in Dallas what NBC did in Boston??
No crawl on KPHO-TV on YTTV as of right now. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over? I guess I'll find out tomorrow morning.
And this is relevant to a compensation dispute between CBS/Paramount and YouTube TV how? Fake? What's fake about this? YouTube TV has been through this before, with MLB Network and NHL Network. In both cases, the networks were dropped and never brought back, as YouTube TV refused to increase its offer to what the leagues were asking.
The email isn't fake. It did come up out of the blue.
I wonder how much churn YTTV had when they raised the base price $10/month at the start of the year.
Edit: Nothing about it at the start of the 10 pm news on KCNC.

YTTV price increase was irritating for me, but the cost is still half of what Xfinity charges for a similar lineup.
Well, according to the email, at some point subscribers will get an $8/month credit if the impasse goes on for an "extended period." No definition is given for "extended period," of course.
Business as usual on YouTube TV. No channels dropped, no more crawl. The wondering and waiting continues ....
Saw that too just now here in Phoenix (KPHO).
Very curious…this is what I’m seeing from the YTTV Help Center. The scope as far as broadcast stations are concerned appears to be limited to O&Os, and possibly not even all of those. Denver, or Colorado as CBS calls it, isn’t listed, for example.
