+1 Same here. And I assume Youtube TV knows this as well as they are the only streaming service I know of pushing to include NBC, FOX, CBS, ABC local channels. "Stream live TV from ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, ESPN"



PS Vue also has local channels


In my market (Seattle) Vue only has CBS. I specifically want to watch College and NFL FB. NFL is generally on Fox & CBS OTA channels and ABC has many college games. (Other games are on NFL Network, ESPN, and Twitter, which are available via streaming)


Youtube TV isn't even available in Seattle at the moment ( https://support.google.com/youtubetv/answer/7068923 ), so the value proposition there is a bit mixed compared to the available services with mixes of affiliates in many markets.

I assume everybody wants all of them in all markets, it's just a different strategy of when to make something available. E.g. what if you're like me, and primarily watch college sports on ESPN, and don't really care about NBC or Fox locals in your market?
