Options are nice, probably still won't be back for next football season, but we'll see how enticing the offers are.

If they (or someone else) had just a locals package with ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, CW, and PBS for a reasonable price, I'd consider it, but that doesn't seem to be a thing anyone wants to sell me. I get by with my antenna, HD Homerun, and Channels DVR, but it would be nice to have another option.

I remember when aereo would " lease" and antenna and you could get close to 80 local channels with subchannels ( in NYC metro)..it was better than cable

what about I don't get locals save the $32+/mo and upgrade to an hire tier or maybe add hbo.
Also let me drop espn if I don't want it.

I'll be waiting to see what is and what isn't in the smaller packages.
Also at What Price ...

If these new packages are $50 or $60, I'll pass.

I would guess, pricing will be close to DirecTV's Genre Packs

It looks like YTTV has started rolling out their new plan options.

This doesn't appear to be all of them since they said they're going to over 10+, and these appear to be the higher priced options at the onset.

They should've done a better job of communicating the actual content of the packages in their "announcement". This implies there is going to be a News only package for example, but they didn't announce that today. Also, without the Turner channels the sports package isn't much use to college sports fans.

I've seen a few different articles, one said that yes the Sports package Did include your Locals ... as well as the Turners and things like USA.
Some were rather vague ...
Well have to see what YTTV themselves have to say.

Time to evaluate and see what channels I Do watch ... vs those that I really don't.

Here is one that mentions alot of chanels in the Sports package .

Thanks. Still not sure why they cannot just publish a grid, but whatever.
