I'm in a much different place, viewing-wise, than pretty much anyone, ever, I'm quite sure. So my channel needs are quite specific and sporadic.

Live sports is #1. Fubo definitely seems to be the best option. But, no TBS/TNT/Tru is a huge hole. That's March Madness, baseball playoffs, NHL playoffs, NBA, etc., not to mention Impractical Jokers. That's a gaping hole.

Also, most of these plans don't appear to have the regional sports networks, but I can live without that. I don't care much about watching the Reds, Bengals are on broadcast TV, and maybe I lose out on Pacers and Cavs games? We seem to be tagged with 2-3 NBA teams, but not a huge loss.

I believe the only way to supplement the loss of Turner networks would be to get a second service like Sling. And then you get into the "switch to this app for these channels, but this app for these channels, and then don't forget we have History+ for these channels, and ESPN+ for this," etc.

This is always where my plan to switch goes awry. It's a lot to get used to/learn when for 45 years, you've been used to everything all in one place. I rarely use Netflix because it requires me to switch to an app, even though my My List is piled up with stuff I'd be interested in watching.

I have time to think it through. Like I said, I'm not giving up Sunday Ticket Max since they're giving it to me for free, so I won't switch at least until early next year.
