Wow! exits Wow! tv+ and moves customers to YouTube TV

Colorado-based Wow!, which operates the Wow! tv+ streaming service, is shutting down Wow! tv+ and migrating customers to YouTube TV by about June 30, 2026, after a 2023 deal to offer YouTube TV; remaining cable subscribers will be transitioned gradually. The shift reflects ongoing industry consolidation as streaming rises and traditional pay TV declines, with YouTube TV pricing starting at $67.99 for the first three months, then $82.99 per month, and more than 100 channels.

YouTube TV’s Silent Background Audio Power-Up

YouTube TV now supports background audio on Android and iOS, letting live TV, sports, and news continue sound even when the screen is off. Born from a 2024 experimental rollout, it’s become a standard feature bundled with the subscription and accessible via iOS Control Center and Android controls. The feature is practical for listening on the go, conserving battery and offering a radio-like experience for real-time events, without the need to keep the video visible.

Disney CEO taps the brakes on ESPN–NFL chatter as YouTube TV blackout dents profits

Disney boss Bob Iger avoided questions about the ESPN–NFL deal after closing ESPN’s NFL Network equity (10% of ESPN) as a YouTube TV blackout hit Disney with a $110 million cost and squeezed sports margins to under 4% on $4.9 billion in revenue; Disney trumpeted ESPN app momentum and ‘ESPN Unlimited’ while succession buzz centers on Josh D’Amaro or Dana Walden, and a contrast emerges with Peacock’s losses as the streaming unit stabilizes. The NFL’s 2030 opt-out keeps renewal talks in play and underscores ongoing competition for league content.
