Breaking News: YouTube TV to Acquire CHSN, Revolutionizing Live Sports Streaming

In a move that is set to shake the live sports streaming landscape, YouTube TV is reportedly close to acquiring CHSN (Channel Surfing Network), a popular streaming service focused on live sports and events. This development has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, with many predicting a significant impact on the way fans consume live sports content.

The Deal: What We Know So Far

According to sources familiar with the matter, YouTube TV is on the verge of acquiring CHSN for a reported $200 million. The deal, which is expected to be announced in the coming weeks, would see CHSN’s extensive library of live sports and events become available to YouTube TV subscribers.

What This Means for Fans

The acquisition would be a major coup for YouTube TV, which has been rapidly expanding its sports offerings in recent years. With CHSN on board, the platform would gain access to a vast array of live sports content, including NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL games, as well as tennis, golf, and soccer matches.

For fans, this means a wider range of live sports content, available to stream at a time and place of their choosing. No longer would they be limited to traditional broadcast schedules or require expensive cable subscriptions to access their favorite teams and players.

The Competition: Will Other Streaming Services Follow Suit?

The acquisition is likely to spark a frenzy of activity in the streaming space, with other players scrambling to keep pace. Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video are all expected to explore similar deals, as they look to bolster their own sports offerings and compete with YouTube TV.

For YouTube TV subscribers about CHSN

I know YouTube TV customers are worried about not getting CHSN, and honestly this isn’t going to help those worries. I’d get an antenna asap and here’s why:

There are 9 teams by my count (not including the Stars of the NHL because they’re going to a free streaming service not broadcast on TV) who have or are moving to an OTA channel. Of those 9, only one channel that I’ve been able to confirm will show all of the locally broadcast games for this season: that channel being FOX 11 Plus/KCOP 13 for the Anaheim Ducks

I put a ❌ for channels YouTube TV doesn’t have, and a ✅ for those they do.

You see the Mavericks, Kraken and Golden Knights have one of their channels that is currently on YouTube TV. The issue is those channels will NOT be showing all the locally televised games, only simulcasting a select few per season (the number is usually 15 or so), so just having those channels isn’t enough. Since those channels are the main ABC and NBC affiliates in their respective region, most of the time they’ll only be good for pre and post game shows—if that.

I bring this up because it relates to Chicagoans who have YouTube TV, which I had but just cancelled in favor of an antenna.

The way CHSN is being done is not like what most other channels are doing, where the team is broadcasting their games on a local sub channel that also shows news and other shows throughout the day—no. CHSN is technically a regional sports network that just happens to be on free OTA TV that’s permanently taking over subchannels currently broadcasting jewelry.

I bring all this up to say while it’s not out of the realm of possibility that this ends up on YouTube TV, especially since this is technically a regional sports network, it doesn’t seem likely with their track record of removing channels that become sports channels (WSFL 39 for the Panthers for example was just removed from YTTV recently), or never adding newer channels like Vegas 34 and Utah 16. You might be better off getting an antenna right now before October 1st.

Sorry for all the posts about this, I’m just very knowledgeable about this sort of stuff and I want to clear up any confusion, especially since I was planning on keeping YouTube TV as well until it was confirmed we can get the channel for free.
