Reign of Terror is over! Pelicans leaves BallySports.

I have had fubo the last 3 years and have had ballys included in a regional channels upgrade, so I figured getting this channel would be seamless. Well I had not seen Gulf Coast Sports pop up for the first game like it should have. I live in Prairieville, so 5 mins from Baton rouge and am well within the area to receive the channel with an antenna.

I called fubo about this and told them my concern. As you can imagine, it was a customer service line that was not much help. He said i was not in the area to receive the channel...i am in the area on the cable broadcast easily so why I would "not be in the area for the channel" especially after having Ballys for years blew my mind.

After a bit I gave up trying to have questions answered because he couldn't even tell me if the channel was available to baton rouge zip codes. So I asked him to remove my regional channels because there was no need for them anymore if I couldn't get a regional channel lol. He said they cant do that (you use to be able to add the regional channels separately to your package for $15 but now its required and is an extra $15 cost that gets added onto your package selection when you check out)

All that to say it was the last thing I needed to convince me to drop Fubo ($120) and switch to youtubeTV ($75, $50 my first two months) and get pelican + ($15). Fubo use to be perfect for me because it was a one stop shop for all the sports i needed, but after the fact I cant get Gulf Coast & i have to pay for those regional channels that are thus no good for me, I switched. I save money this way anyways. What use to make Fubo great for me, is now is gone.

Hopefully this helps you, because if you don't see Gulf Coast now then odds are you cant get it period because you aren't in the "right area". depending on your situation, which i see you are literally in NOLA, I advise switching to YoutubeTV and getting pelicans +! it is the easiest route I have now seen streaming wise. You can try to give them a call but i have a feeling you would get the same outcome.

I just watched the first game online but I like having the option to watch it easily on my phone and tv, just would rather pay the $15 a month for the good streaming service versus illegal streams lol
Yes so far, my antenna will not catch the Lafayette, Lake Charles or Baton Rouge channels. Looks like Gulf Coast Sports have partnered with the stations with the weakest signals.
