As the title states, I currently have cable but want to cut it. I dont watch anything live anymore aside for sports. I can’t buy a sports package as the local pro teams are blacked out, and you must watch on the local channel. Are there any alternatives?

    We get a few channels OTA with our antenna. Sadly, ice hockey is limited to Bally Sports, and baseball is only sometimes available on a local network that is not Bally Sports

      For the NHL and MLB you’re just fucked. Those leagues completely failed negotiations. Maybe Amazon picking up a big chunk of Bally’s will get us our teams on Prime. Maybe.

      In general, all the major sports leagues (except maybe Premier League) are firmly stuck in the past and view cable as great. Maybe we’ll see some better options when each league re-negotiates the TV deals. But even when that happens, expect the NHL to fuck it up somehow.

        The Prem is an absolute shit show. You need USA, Peacock and then good knows what for some FA coverage. I tried peacock for the 3 months at like 1.99 and was very disappointed. So few games.
