Need to replace YouTubeTV

I just made my most recent payment and it’s now $78!!!! For the most part I watch very little on it. My wife likes The Bachelor and a few shows on the local stations. I get Netflix thru my T-Mobile account and Prime thru Amazon. I need a way to get rid of YouTube but be able to watch Fox News and ABC CBS Not big on the antenna since I can’t record

Any suggestions on a plan to accomplish this?

Quit watching garbage and save yourself $75/mo.

If cable news shit is really important to you, you can share youtube tv with up to 5 people and they can all chip in.

Is that actual Fox News or your local Fox News?

Depends on what state you’re in sling might be a good option for you

It depends on how much Fox News is worth to you. Without it, you could possibly get an antenna and a Tablo and have no month-to-month costs. If you must have that station, there is Sling, but it may not have your other channels.

https://www.hulu.com/live-tv is another option.

Not for the OP, if $72.99 + applicable sales tax is already too expensive for the OP! Hulu+Live is MORE expensive!

Sling blue has fox news. I think it's like $40 a month. Get an antenna to get the other OTA signals.

Fox News is the problem. It's not available anywhere except with a subscription. However, you could save some money if you switch to Sling Blue for $40/mo + applicable sales tax. Then, if you have Sling, you could buy an AirTV to be able record OTA ABC and CBS.

If you just want the local channels get an antenna. Got one recently and can’t believe more people don’t use them

I think fox news is on Pluto.tv for free. Get Philo for a bunch of cable stations.

You can get CBS from paramount+.

ABC news to be somewhere, or get the shows off Hulu.

It's been $72.99 + applicable sales tax since around March, 2023. Did you have some kind of special pricing until now, or did you just now notice?

Not big on the antenna since I can’t record

But you can record, if you get a Tablo, or something similar.
