This is very unfortunate that HULU no longer carries Fox Sports South. Hope they strike a new deal soon. Has anyone found a cheaper alternative to subscribe to Fox Sports South?
Considering a subscription to mlb.com so I can watch Braves. I have DISH basic and Hulu + live. I am in blackout region for Braves. Trying to keep up with new age, but this senior citizen could use some help/advice I can understand!
Don’t. I had the same issue and MLB has the Braves game blacked out.
OK, have a question. I have cut cable. Been using UTube TV but I am a big Braves Fan n watch every game. My main TV is a LG and you cannot load the AT &T TV app to a LG smart TV. What to do? Go back to cable? Season is getting close. Help!
Xfinity stream also offer FSSOUTH in their Extra package.
The 2021 Baseball season is getting close. Is YoutubeTV in talks with Sinclair about carrying Fox SportSouth so we can watch the Braves like last year?
I read an article yesterday that indicated Sinclair is more focused on developing the FOX Sports app and possibly launching its own streaming service in late 2021. That doesn’t help for MLB season.
I’m monitoring things and will update these guides once I know something else is happening.
Need update. Hulu cancelled regional sports programming!
