    It should, but it varies by zip code and what one considers a local channel. You can go to the link in the post - https://www.hulu.com/live-tv - and about 1/2 way down the screen is a link to click on where you can enter your zip code and see all the channels offered for that zip code. I entered a Wichita zip code and it listed KAKE, KSN, KWCH, and Fox Kansas as included. I think of the 5 major ones I've tried over the years (AT&T, Fubo, Hulu, Sling, and YouTube), Sling was the only one that didn't have local channels and you had to switch over to antennae tv to watch those channels.

    There are other things to consider too, such as how many devices can be connected at one time, so you'll want to check out all that information first before committing to any streaming service. CNET does a good job of comparing the top 5 and keeping the article updated - https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-a...-cord-cutters/
    Thanks Ted!

      • YouTube TV also has the espn package and Disney for $65 a month. I have no idea if there’s a deal for initial signup. I do have a friend that uses this service and he likes it.

        edit- $55 a month for 1st 3 months. 85 channels plus DVR capabilities.

        Stream live TV from ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, ESPN & popular cable networks in English and Spanish. Record without DVR storage space limits. Try it free. Cancel anytime.

          I am very interested in this. A couple of questions? 1) Can you record shows for later viewing or is there an on demand function. 2) How many Tvs will it support? We have 4 and at times up to 3 maybe being used.

          I already have HULU+Disney+ESPN+. Not sure what I lose cutting Comcast.
          ESPN+ has on demand replays available immediately after each game for at least a week or 2. Someone else will need to answer about that particular package though. Mine is just a Disney + add on to my Roku package for $12/ month extra I think

            You should be able to record shows. I haven't had Hulu for awhile, so you'd want to check their web site for more details as things always change. From their site, it looks like the package with the deal supports 2 screens at a time, but I think you can pay extra to get unlimited screens.

            I would recommend doing as much research as possible before switching. It may be Comcast plus the Hulu package you already have gives you everything you need. By the time you figure in maybe paying more for more screens and maybe even more for bandwidth, you might be better off staying with what you have. Also, if you tell companies like Comcast you're thinking about switching, they may reduce your costs somewhat to keep you on.

              I currently have YouTube TV and while it has many of the basic ESPN channels, it doesn't have ESPN+. If I stayed with YouTube TV and wanted to watch the Shocker games that will be on ESPN+, I'd have to go ahead and buy an ESPN+ subscription. As far as I know, the Hulu plans are the only one that includes ESPN+ in their deals.

              Also, IMO YouTube TV doesn't have the best DVR capabilities, mainly in that you can't record shows you're watching live. Maybe I'm missing something, but if I was wathcing a Chiefs game but then needed to go somewhere and wanted to record the 2nd half to watch later, it won't let me do it. The only option is to tell it to record the Chiefs game at some point before the programming for it even starts. I've used all the other services and they will either record future shows, or record something you're watching from when you tell it to record on, or even let you record from the beginning of the show.

                You can record shows after the event has started. While watching, locate the + sign and click it and you’re good to go. The other nice thing is that if you’re recording an event, it will give you the chance to record any event like it, so Chiefs games and any WSU games that are on YouTube TV are automatically recorded for me.

                I have YouTube TV and have been very happy. I also split the subscription with a couple other people (you can have up to three or four others) and that helps reduce the cost.

                • Hulu has both recording and on demand options. It will keep any recording for up to 9 months I believe, with no limit on amount of data recorded.

                  It also offers some original content, if you're into some of that, which I don't think YouTube really has anymore.

                  I live alone so I don't know about the number of screens.

                  It also nice that at least some of the ESPN+ options show up while looking through the sports tab on Hulu, so I don't have to always go pull up the ESPN+ app.

                    Thanks! I must have done something wrong the other day because what I tried the event never ended up in the Library and when I did a quick search online, the top results said it wasn't possible. But I just tried it now and it worked, so thanks again!

                      • This is worth a press release? *Sigh* I guess we are back to the point that WKU is an exciting home and home. There was a point prior to our runs where this would be a fun matchup and one to look forward to.

                          Out of 6 of the home games we had last year and 6 this year, I'm sure we could find one each year that we'd rather have a H & H with WKU.

                            Of course. But the problem is we are going to still schedule buy games so this *could* be replacing one of our actual good home and homes. For example, is this replacing our series with Oklahoma State? Or is this scheduled instead of 1 buy game? If it takes away a buy game then sure this is a great addition.

                            • WKU is a solid home and home. They are normally always relevant

                                If it takes away from an OSU type of game, then we were not the ones who got rid of the game.

                                My point is, I'll take another set of games like WKU if it gets rid of one of "those 6" for 2 years.
