The service has most of the same local ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX affiliates than YouTube TV, but not all of them.

For the same price as YouTube TV, you’ll get 33 channels of the 35 Top Cable Channels, including your local RSN. The service carries a similar number of ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX affiliates than YouTube TV, so you’re likely to get them in your area.

3. fuboTV ($65)

Last year, fuboTV added Disney-owned networks including ABC, ESPN, Disney Channel, FX, Nat Geo in August.

With the additions, they include 30 of the Top 35 Cable Channels. But, they are also without Sinclair-owned Fox Sports RSNs, which were dropped in January.
