We Are Headed For A Potential Nightmare Scenario As YouTube TV Will Be Pulling All Paramount Channels, Most Notably CBS, Just A Month Before The NCAA Tournament https://t.co/9KOPVuIlDX pic.twitter.com/LIyhRDLp4J

Just checked my YouTubeTV app. CBS/TNT/TBS/Tru/Paramount are all still there as of 2:57pm.

CBS is the only major channel that will affect March Madness viewership. TNT, TBS, TruTV won't be affected by this dispute

Just read that the deadline is apparently 10pm CT this evening. So we will see what happens then.


When ESPN pulled off of Spectrum in Sept 2023 (literally during a timeout commercial break in the 1st quarter of the first Thursday night NCAA football broadcast that season), I signed up for and switched to YouTubeTV by halftime.

I pay for my 84 year old moms YouTube membership..I have to break the news to her today she may lose her Wheel of Fortune and Hollywood Squares.

A free option is this

Please note that the availability of channels may change over time, and it's advisable to check the official website for the most current information.

If you're using a TV, TVPass.org isn't a traditional appyou'll need a web browser to access it. If your TV doesn't have one, download a browser like Puffin TV or Google Chrome from the app store, then enter the website URL to start streaming.

Sling is still pretty good but you will need both packages for most of the sports channels and it does not include ESPN+ or ESPNU. That last is particularly annoying because a few MBB & WBB games end up there each season.

All the Paramount channels are still operating on YouTube tv as of 10:25pm

YouTube TV and Paramount signed an extension. The press release from YouTube TV didn't specify how long the extension is.

If it's CBS you want, you can likely just get an OTA antenna for your local CBS station while YouTube and CBS are working things out.

The tvpass.org
Is not bad and free. Watched a women's game on it last light and it buffered a couple of times but nothing bad.
