One of the many reasons why Traditional Pay Live TV is dying.

I pay direct to Paramount, have no fear of losing a channel and content.

Plus the fact that it is less expensive, a lot more content and better video and sound quality.

This is about You Tube TV ... Not Traditional TV.

Sadly as noted, it happens to All platforms.

Fwiw, Paramount Plus and the rest also go up when ever they decide the time is right.

Correct, and from my perspective, that puts more control in my hands. If I don't like the price increase, I can cancel just Paramount+. If CBS decides they don't want to make a deal with YTTV, and I don't like it, I have to switch to another linear TV platform which may or may not have all the channels I want, won't have my recordings, etc. The choice of whether I get CBS channels lies with third parties and is not mine.

Yep because so few companies control all the market....they can strangle YTTV anytime they want or any other mixed platform....if you had 30 companies making the content tbere would be competition....
