Anyone subscribe to Flobikes?

funny that i stumbled upon this thread. last summer i discovered and subscribed to fubo tv thanks to the fubo cycling channel. loved it and watched regularly. in late november once the season ended i canceled the cycling package to save a few dollars since there was no racing. this week i went to sign up again and the fubo cycling package is gone. just wiped clean from their lineup with no mention of it whatsoever (the link for the 2020 season is still up somewhere). I emailed fubo but havent gotten a response yet. in the meantime, i saw the news that flosports signed an exclusive license with the UCI and will have ALL race coverage for the next 4 years, including the events usually carried by NBCSN. today comes the news that NBCSN is folding

so…basically what i can gather is that if you live in north america (US specifically) and want to watch and dvr professional cycling to view at your leisure, you’re screwed. the only way to watch now is to subscribe to flosports at $170 or so per year, with an app that’s terrible (no way to try it, no way to dvr events) and isn’t even supported on my platform (nvidia shield tv). no more fubo cycling, no more nbcsn TDF with phil liggett, no more giro with matt stevens, all gone. i have emails into velonews and cycling daily (as well as fubo) to confirm my suspicions, but i think what i’m saying is accurate. very dark days ahead if you’re a fan of (easily) watching professional cycling…

also, my fubo tv subscription is suddenly worthless, as is my nbcsn gold pass, which they’re still taking subscriptions for somehow
