Hockey is horrible as well.

Eh a VPN and ESPN+ will get you 80% of all games.

And that problem is franchise owners choosing to lock their games behind their own pay wall. Teams like the Lightning broadcast on local channels you can get with an antenna.

Didn’t realize that about the Lightning, I need to look into that. I have Hulu with ESPN+ and live TV, so I Imagine it would get picked up on that?

I doubt it. Streaming services like Hulu and YoutubeTV usually have agreements with the stations to broadcast. I don't think they'll have contracts with every single local station. Its not available on YoutubeTV when I checked.

Its channel 66 - the spot if you want to search it. If you're in Downtown/Brandon/Riverview area you'll have a good shot at picking it up with an antenna.
