YTTV won't mention the added channels until they need to justify the cost increase. Then they'll make sure to hammer home how you can watch all these great channels you didn't ask for.

To be fair, that’s no different from any other TV provider, be it cable, satellite, or streaming.
Yeah, but YTTV is the only one that sends them to me. And I'm kinda selfish so I don't care about the others.
Not for long for when ION jacks up their price for the Pac rights and YTTV tells them to pound sand.
They did, but then they figured out Bonanza reruns brings in more viewers than a Cal vs Washington State football game.
The $120m is just the ACC's exit fee. If FSU want to leave the ACC and take their media rights, they're probably looking at a significantly higher price. There's really no point in leaving the ACC without their media rights, so they're going to have to buy those back.Warning shot fired out east. Interesting they estimate $120 million to buy out of the ACC GOR til 2036
FSU fires warning shot to ACC: ‘Something has to change’
A trustee asked whether a buyout to leave the ACC was feasible. The answer wasn’t “no.”www.tampabay.com
On the low end, their rights would be worth whatever the ACC would payout from it's media deal between whenever FSU wanted to leave and 2036. On the high end, those could be valued at whatever they'd get in the B10/SEC over that time frame. Assuming they wanted to move ahead of the 2024 season, they'd probably be getting out "cheap" for anything less that $600m.
Just for comparison, OUT just paid $50m each to get out of the B12's GOR 1 year early. The ACC has 13 years left on their GOR.
ESPN likely would not help negotiate their departure since they have the ACC's deal. The ACC has no reason to negotiate anything other than what's in the contract. FSU has no way to force their way out by any means other than obligating the contract.
Wow, now even ION TV isn’t interested in the Pac 12 anymore!
It’ll be interesting what their approach is going to be. If they make the conference toxic, how’s that play out?
What could they really do to make that conference toxic? Without the threat to leave, they have no more leverage than the other 13 members. As long as leaving isn't economically possible, they're stuck. Making it impossible to leave is basically all that's separating the ACC from being exactly where the PAC is today.
When you are surfing antenna TV and hit an episode of "Criminal Minds" up around channel 40, that is ION TV.
