Question Ala cart

[SaintlyJim]

I've cut the 'cord' as it relates to cable or satellite providers. I now subscribe to YouTube TV (mainly because of NFL Sunday Ticket. Didn't know they would offer it ala cart). But I find myself rarely watching it. We're either watching Peacock, Paramount +, Netflix or something else. Plus I have FOX, NBC, ABC, CW, CBS, Bounce, Defy, Grit and ION OTA. My big catch is, even though I have ESPN+, the basic ESPN channels and the SEC Network require a provider. This leads me to two questions: 1, do you know if there is a way to get those channels without a provider? Question 2, do you know if there are plans for FOX and ABC to follow NBC and CBS with their Peacock and Paramount + apps. My only drawback to watching the OTA's is not having the ability to record. I did try Sling but not being able to watch ESPN on multiple TV's was a killer.
Thanks in advance.

Hulu Live has ESPN, ESPN2 and SEC.
Vidgo also offers the same.

Thanks. I've not heard of Vidgo. I really wish the industry would get to the point to where you can get whatever you want via apps, like Peacock and Paramount + and not have to subscribe to a provider.
