During perhaps one of the best seasons for watching sports on television, ESPN channels were removed from the YouTube TV streaming platform last week as the sides wage a war of words in a carriage dispute over broadcast fees.

ESPN is leaning on its “Unlimited” streaming service in the second week of the Australian Open, a hot topic among American tennis fans who have been frustrated by the company’s multi-tiered coverage of the year’s first major.

The Tour and ESPN also coordinated a news release on the Pat McAfee Show that revealed that Koepka will be paired with Max Homa, the 2023 Farmers champ, and Ludvig Aberg, who won last year's Genesis Invitational (which was moved to Torrey due to the fires in Los Angeles), for the first two days.

Watching all the matches online requires the highest tier of ESPN’s service. The post Australian Open Fans Struggle With ESPN’s Tiered Streaming appeared first on Front Office Sports.
