I thought he had wanted off the show? Although they could have had go support so far of location rather than actually killing him off.

The article I had read was they they called Peter in for a meeting and the producers told him they were killing his character off, and why they thought it was good for the show. He was surprised and had to accept it. (Peter was one of the executive producers for the show. He and Angela Bassett both were.)

Whether they killed Bobby off because Peter wanted off, I hadn't heard that. However, if the new showrunner told him, (as an exec producer,) "I'm going to take the show in directions you guys hadn't done before. We are going to have a few episodes up in space where a couple of you have to do a rescue up there!" I can see Peter possibly thinking, "I want out before this show heads to crazy town."

have you changed your provider since ABC/ESPN in gone? What have you changed to or are you just waiting it out?

We have Disney+ Bundle that includes ESPN and HULU so we're not missing ABC at all. We have YouTubeTV so we have plenty of other channels to watch! YouTubeTV also gave us a credit towards our monthly bill due to the loss of ABC/ESPN/Disney.

That’s the intention (e.g. “traveling”), but it works for multiple households as well. The one thing I found is that when “traveling”, you need to come “home” every couple months. When my older son was out of town for an internship for 6 months, at some point, YT TV told him he’d been gone for too long, so I had to log in with his account at home for a few minutes and that reset it.

Like the other poster, we now use it for multiple homes, so it’s a much better deal than doing cable in both locations. DirecTV streaming or Sling probably could do the same thing, we just haven’t tried them yet.

I wonder what the limit is. We've been away from our primary home for four months straight & never had them cut us off.

My experience has been around 4 months or so, but it might be the way our son was logged in.

When we travel between our two homes, it will occasionally ask us to verify that it's our account we're logged into. Same thing with Netflix.

Just a little update...DH did whatever they're having you do to get your $20 credit for the month for no ABC/ESPN/Disney. He did note that we'll need to make a decision next month if no such credit is offered or the monthly price isn't lowered accordingly. I suspect will shift to Fubo TV if it comes to this since they are the best option for local baseball programming vs. price.

As someone who doesn't watch sports, I'll take the $20 for as many months as they are willing to offer.

I get Hulu for free so have not had any problems keeping up with the shows I watch on ABC.

With so many services bundling streaming services, for example I get HBOMax from at&t, Netflix, Hulu, and AppleTV from T-Mobile, etc..., consumers often end up with duplication of content in some cases, like me.

That leaves both the content creators and distributors with weaker hands for negotiation.

I thought baseball started in the spring? If so I would think you could hold of on a decision for awhile.

I'm with @kdonnel and keep taking that $20 credit as long as they offer it.

It does, but it just makes FUBO a decent alternative if YouTubeTV should stop offering the $20 credit.
