Not really imo. No TNT/TBS and they squeeze in ESPN U and ESPN SEC instead.
Honestly, at the end of hte day, all these packages are variants of the same crap. They pick their selection of channels and bundle them. There in is the problem. Price here is marginally better than Sling Blue+Orange with just a different combination of channels.
Give me Spectrum Sports, Dodgers, ESPN 1, TNT, TBS, Travel, HGTV, Food Network, FX and I'm good (I might be missing one or two). That should be 20-25 bucks at most a la carte imo. Between those channels, Netflix and HBO Go, I'd be golden.

Thats the problem isn't it? They don't want to offer a la carte because it would basically kill the more expensive pay TV bundles from satellite and cable. So they will just offer these slim down bundles on streaming and say we tried. Those channels like ESPN also hold a lot of power so they won't allow themselves to be sold individually. |

Comes with add-on networks like Showtime for an additional $11/mo and Fox Soccer Plus for $15/mo.
Cut the cord because I didn't need espn, telemundo, oxygen, cnbc, syfy, abc, cw... etc. Good to see packages like this, but w/o Dodgers/Lakers there isn't much incentive to sign up. |

I think it allows for 3 streams at once and you can add up 6 youtube accounts. I doubt I would pay $35. If I can split the cost with someone and account share then maybe, but no TNT, TBS or AMC is kind of a killer.
I didn't expect Spectrum to be on there. I would probably pay $5 a month for Spectrum if they offered it as a add on. That is the main reason I would even want cable. I can find bootleg stream for ESPN/TNT online, but not for Spectrum sportsnet. |

| You will never find a super niche channel like Spectrum Sportsnet on there. They need to piggyback onto cable or satellite subscribers to get the most carriage fees. Getting hardcore fans thru a la carte won't work. |

This. Just give me a choice about 10 to 20 channels. and let me pay for those. you can keep the other 850. |
