RE: YouTube TV loses regional Fox sports channels

Sinclair has a well established reputation for being difficult to negotiate with. They held out on making their local channels available to virtual multichannel carriers for a while to get concessions to carry some of their low profile cable networks.
One would think that AT&T TV Now would be the big winner in all of this. While the $80/mo price for its Max package is quite a bit higher than Hulu + Live or YouTube TV, it includes HBO Max and Cinemax. Adding the $15/mo price of HBO Max alone to YouTube TV brings the prices even. However, AT&T's earnings report this morning indicated that AT&T TV Now's subscribers had dropped to 683,000 from 1,145,000 a year ago. Hulu + Live has over 3 million and YouTube TV has over 2 million.
