Well, Recently we got to hear news regarding YouTube TV that they are dropping SNY (SportsNet New York). After hearing this news lots of New York Mets fans are raising objections that why they are going to drop NYC and when it is going to happen. Well, if you are also one of those people who want to know about it then don’t worry here you will get your answer.
YouTube TV Dropping SNY:
So basically, the announcement that the SNY channel was dropped by the service will especially impact subscribers who are fans of the New York Mets. While the news will obviously be frustrating for Mets fans who depended upon the streaming service for all of their team’s coverage.
Well, after this step, YouTube TV will no longer provide their subscribers with the SNY channel, but there are several services that will provide Mets fans with content like DirecTV, TV StreamDirec, FuboTV, and Hulu + Live TV. Apart from that, there will also be several service area-specific providers that will continue to provide SNY’s content to New York Mets fans.
Why is SNY Leaving YouTube TV?
So basically in an email to customers on Thursday, YouTube TV said “It will remove SportsNet New York (SNY) on June 30 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, which will coincide with the end of YouTube TV’s contract to carry the channel. The SNY channel will no longer be available on YouTube TV, and you will no longer be able to watch live content or access content in your [cloud DVR] that you may have recorded from SNY,”
This move will leave Mets fans without a way to access locally-televised games, which are mostly exclusive to SNY. Some national games will continue to be available on ESPN, Fox Television, and ESPN. In a statement, a spokesperson for SNY said, “It had been engaged in good faith efforts to negotiate a new contract with YouTube TV, but the service apparently walked away from those discussions. We feel an obligation to inform YouTube TV subscribers that they will lose SNY’s leading coverage of the Mets, Jets, and all of New York’s professional and collegiate sports teams.”
