The Streaming Insider (2/5/2021)

On This Week’s Edition:

After years of prices hikes, we wondered if signing up for a Live TV Streaming Service like YouTube TV, Hulu Live TV, fuboTV, and AT&T TV was still cheaper than cable.

In order to put it to the test, I brought shame to my streaming family…I signed up for cable.

So is streaming Live TV still cheaper than cable in 2021? We went through dozens of plans to find out. On this week’s edition of The Streaming Insider!
