Someone explain the new ESPN app service to me.

That's my understanding.

If that is the case, then that is the way to go! $30/month.

Only reason I have YouTubeTV is to watch games…nothing else.

Hulu comes with the ESPN app thing already, and it's the same price as YoutTubeTv.

Them: so I can pivot away from pricy YouTube TV?

You: also you can pay the same amount for the same thing instead of this much cheaper alternative

You wouldn't be able to watch any of the games on Fox (Texas at Ohio State for one) or any pro games, but if you were cool with that then go ahead and save 60 bucks.

So my espn current deal is done?

You can watch Kentucky win nothing, anywhere

I was reading up on this and for 39.99 you can get the “Fox One” bundle with ESPN.

The bundle will also allow viewers to watch all channels that carry FOX Sports events live (FS1, FS2, FOX Deportes, Big Ten Network, FOX Local Stations, and the FOX Network) and all ESPN linear networks (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SECN, ACCN, ESPNEWS, ESPN Deportes, plus ESPN on ABC). There are also on-demand replays and original programming that's made available through ESPN+, along with over 47,000 live sporting events each year.

Just read the fine print and the Fox One w/ ESPN bundle won’t be available until Oct 2 for some reason. Plan accordingly!

antenna doesn't get NBC though.

I think there's a cheap version of Peacock. I just use someone else's account. I did have it, but I have no reason to pay for it now that it won't have WWE. Im going to have to check the antenna I have.

yup, and it's also $30 for disney+, hulu, and espn unlimited for 12 months then $35 after.

This seems like sound advise.
I want to extend this discussion with some additional cable cutting information.
I recommend that if you don't have an antenna, get one anyway. As long as you're within about 20 miles or so of the local antennas you can get good reception with a smaller indoor unit. just spend the 30 bucks and get one.
I also recommend get a Tablo device or similar with a 2-3 gig hard drive. I've had a 2 tuner Tablo for 6 years or more and love it! I can record, pause/play, anything that comes through the antenna. Tablo also provides all the information about a movie or show like, year made, actors, direct, just good for TV watchers. I recommend the 4 tuner though.
Tablo unit runs about $100 and the HD that holds all your recordings $60.00-$90.00.Spent this last football dry month rewatching the Texas game from last year. Not ashamed to admit I watched the Georgia games once and then deleted.

Sounds like the ESPN app is exactly what I need and can dump YouTube. One good thing YouTube has is you can watch 4 games at once and click to expand a single game instantly, then go back to 4 after the score.
Forgot to mention, Tablo can plug into a single tv, or (like me) you plug into your WiFi and it projects to any tv in the house.
