Last week, a major shakeup between YouTube TV and Disney has been causing blackouts for viewers who rely on the app for watching Disney-owned channels.

Unable to reach an agreement, Disney has been blacked out on YouTube TV. That means subscribers needed to find other ways to watch last weekend’s college football games without ESPN.

But unfortunately, the dispute is still ongoing, which puts this week’s ABC shows in peril.

Thankfully, there are quick fixes as well as more permanent options if you can’t bear to miss Dancing with the Stars, 9-1-1, 9-1-1: Nashville, High Potential or Golden Bachelor.

Read on for the Watch With Us guide below!

How to Watch ESPN and College Football Games Without YouTube TV

Can I Watch ABC For Free Anywhere?

Fortunately, there are a few options for watching ABC for free. For one, it’s a channel that’s already free over the air and can be accessed with “rabbit ear” broadcast antennae, if you don’t mind going a little old school.

If you’d prefer not to invest in an antenna, you can try free trials of both fuboTV and DIRECTV, which also give you access to ESPN. After the five-day trial, DIRECTV is only $39.99 per month, which is a pretty good deal if you don’t want your live TV to be interrupted again. It can be more expensive, though, depending on what channel pack you want.

FuboTV is also pretty reasonable, and only a little pricier. For one month after the trial period, the price for the basic plan with 29 channels is $45.99, then $55.99 in the second month.

Which Apps Offer ABC Live?

If you’d prefer to keep things on the apps, you can get the Hulu + Live TV plan for $89.99, which includes live TV, Disney+ and ESPN Select. Or, bump that monthly price up an extra $10 and get Hulu Premium and Disney+ Premium.

You can also try Sling TV, which is a cable streaming app similar to fuboTV. It comes with different bundles you can choose depending on what kinds of channels you want to access. For instance, the Sling Orange package for $45.99 per month focuses on sports and family channels, while Sling Blue at $45.99 centers on news and entertainment. Or, purchase both packages together for $65.99, and get half off for your first month. However, you do need Sling Blue to access ABC.

Where Else Can I Watch ABC Right Now?

At the end of the day, pretty much every cable provider is going to offer ABC, so maybe it’s time to make the switch from streaming back over to cable — especially if you’d prefer not to have these kinds of disputes affect you’re daily watching habits. Cable providers to choose from (based on availability in your area) include: Optimum, Xfinity, Verizon Fios, Spectrum, Dish and Cox. Of course, all of these come with a cost.

ABC Fall Schedule for New, Returning Shows: From ‘DWTS’ to ‘Shifting Gears’

People joke about the fact that we pay for so many separate streaming services now that a lot of the time it adds up to the same cost or even more than just paying for a cable package. Perhaps this conflict between YouTube TV and Disney will provide customers with more reason to just go back to basics.

Kim Kardashian is turning heads in with a daring outfit choice.

The All’s Fair actress, 45, posted a carousel of racy snaps via her Instagram account on Friday, November 7.

In several of the sultry photos, Kim posed on rocks with the sea acting as a picturesque backdrop.

As Kim embraced the barely-there attire, she showed off the outfit and her curves from every angle. Some images featured Kim looking at the camera while another photo showed the dress from behind as she stared out to sea.

While Kim simply captioned the post, “🩶,” her sister Khloe, 41, had a little more to say about the images. Taking to the comments section, Khloe wrote, “Stunnnnnn.”

Kim Kardashian Covers Her Curves in 50,000 Real Pearls for Met Gala: Pics

The sentiment was echoed by celebrity trainer, Melissa Alcantara, who gushed, “Wow so beautiful 😍”

Earlier this week, Kim showed off behind-the-scene snaps from when she stripped off for a cover shoot for Re-Edition Magazine.

The reality TV star went completely nude for the shoot except for body paint, which covered a considerable amount of her body.

The photo, posted on Monday, November 5, showed a close-up of Kim’s figure, which was painted to look like she was wearing a plunging top, a tailored blazer, high-waisted pants and a brown leather belt. Kim wore only a thong for the occasion, which was also painted to blend in.

Kim appears to have a penchant for naked dresses and has stepped out in sheer attire for many of her red carpet appearances over the years, including her famous “wet look” dress she wore for the Met Gala in 2019.

Another memorable outfit Kim sported for the Met Gala was an iconic gown once worn by the late Marilyn Monroe. The Gentlemen Prefer Blonde star famously wore the dress while serenading President John F Kennedy in 1962 for his 45th birthday and Kim dusted it off for the Met Gala in 2022.

Controversy arose when she originally struggled to fit into a replica of the dress and the owners Ripley’s Believe It Or Not almost denied the star from the chance to wear it at all.

“I had to try the prototype first and see if that fit, and once it fit they sent the original,” Kim told her sisters Kourtney and Khloe, during an episode of The Kardashians in 2022. “And when I went to put it on, it wouldn’t even go up over my hips. And I was just devastated.”

In order to fit in the gown in time for the event, Kim lost 16 pounds in three weeks, sparking backlash from some fans for promoting potentially unhealthy weight-loss journeys.

There were also concerns about whether Kim damaged the historical Hollywood item by wearing it to a red carpet.

Kim was questioned by Vanity Fair on Monday, November 3 using a lie detector test about whether she damaged Monroe’s Bob Mackie and Jean Louis dress by wearing it.

In the video, Teyana Taylor asked her, “I wanna settle this for once and for all. Did you whoop Marilyn Monroe’s dress?”

Kim then looked at herself posing in the number and replied, “No.”

Following criticism at the time, Ripley’s VP of Publishing and Licensing, Amanda Joiner, issued a statement in June 2022, claiming that Kim did not cause any damage to the historic gown.

“From the bottom of the Met steps, where Kim got into the dress, to the top where it was returned, the dress was in the same condition it started in,” the statement read.

LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-Lotus Holding Malawi has set its sights on transforming the nation’s agricultural landscape with what calls “the largest project of its kind” in the country.

Speaking in an interview with Maravi Post on Friday, Lotus Managing Director George Martis
revealed that the company plans to cultivate up to 6,000 hectares of wheat and 3,000 hectares of white haricot beans for export.

He said the project, he will not only boost Malawi’s export earnings but also include a flour production facility to process part of the harvest locally.

“We have a lot to contribute to Malawi.This project will create jobs, strengthen food security, and position Malawi as a serious player in regional agriculture,”Martis said.

A Lotus Holding website, the company’s long-term vision is even larger aiming to develop up to 20,000 hectares of fully mechanised and irrigated farmland. The initial phase, covering about 1,000 hectares, is already being prepared as a model for expansion.

Lotus mission is to modernise farming in Malawi through technology, irrigation, and year-round cultivation.

Beyond wheat and beans, the company plans to introduce other high-value crops for both local consumption and export, helping the country earn much-needed foreign exchange.

With this investment, Lotus hopes to help shift Malawi from subsistence farming to commercial-scale agriculture, creating new economic opportunities across the value chain from farming and processing to transport and exports.

“We are not just planting crops; we are planting a new future for Malawi’s agriculture,” adds Martis.

LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-Prophet Shepherd Bushiri has instructed his lawyers to compel former Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Steve Kayuni for having a hand in untimely death of prophet’s daughter Israella.

Prophet Bushiri hinted that he wants Kayuni to explain “before a competent court which South African officials allegedly directed him to take such an unlawful and inhumane action against an innocent child”.

Writing on his Facebook page, The Man of God said he forgave Kayuni but he is responsible for his actions.

“In 2021, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, my eight-year-old daughter was scheduled to travel from Malawi to Kenya for urgent medical treatment. At that time, most hospitals in Malawi were overwhelmed and unable to provide the specialized care she desperately needed.

“Tragically, upon her arrival at Lilongwe International Airport, an injunction was issued by Mr. Steve Kayuni, who was then the Director of Public Prosecutions, preventing her from leaving the country”, narrates Prophet Bushiri.

The man of God adds, “He claimed to have received directives from officials within the South African Government to act in that manner.

“My daughter, already in a fragile condition, was detained at the airport for five days while my legal team worked tirelessly to overturn the injunction. By the time the court granted permission for her to travel, it was too late, she had lost her life”.

Prophet Bushiri healed but, “We accepted the pain and forgave Mr. Kayuni. However, forgiveness does not remove accountability.

“There are far too many individuals in authority who misuse their positions without consequence. This time, the law must speak”.

Bushiri fired up, “I have therefore instructed my legal team to institute legal proceedings against Mr. Kayuni so that he may explain before a competent court which South African officials allegedly directed him to take such an unlawful and inhumane action against an innocent child.

“Every child has the right to life and access to medical care, as enshrined in the Constitution of Malawi and protected under international human rights law. This case is not only about my daughter, it is about defending every Malawian child from the abuse of power”.

The Man of Charges further, “I am deeply grateful to the many child rights organizations, legal practitioners, and human rights advocates who have come forward in solidarity. Justice delayed took my daughter’s life, but justice denied will not silence her memory”.

Bushiri has just won extradition case against state that wanted him and wife Mary to be in South Africa to answer fraud and sexual assault charges.

Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter are solidifying their friendship status with a girls night out.

The Life of a Showgirl pop star, 35, and the “Nonsense” singer, 26, were spotted grabbing dinner together in New York City on Friday, November 7.

Swift towered over Carpenter in red Gucci women’s horsebit platform slingback pumps while the pair were en route to SoHo restaurant The Corner Store.

The “Fate of Ophelia” singer teamed the heels with a Thom Browne RWB stripe-detail polo shirt and a matching Thom Browne asymmetric wool miniskirt.

For her part, Carpenter kept warm in a camel trenchcoat and opted for a black handbag and matching black heels to complete her look.

Earlier that day, the 2026 Grammy nominations were announced, with Carpenter getting the nod for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Album of the Year, Best Music Video, Best Pop Vocal Album, and Best Pop Solo Performance. (Swift was ineligible for nominations due to The Life of a Showgirl dropping outside the eligible period for next year’s Grammys.)

Swift has had a busy social week. As well as grabbing dinner on Friday with Carpenter, Swift was spotted on multiple date nights in the city with her fiance Travis Kelce.

Swift’s outing with Carpenter isn’t the first time Swift has been spotted with A-lister friends at The Corner Store.

In October 2024, Swift was snapped on a double date with Kelce and celebrity couple Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively.

According to its website, the venue has a “smart elegant” dress code. The American restaurant’s menu offers upscale dishes such as lobster and caviar rolls, filet mignon, steak frites and oysters du jour.

Swift and Carpenter have been frequent collaborators musically over the past few years, with the Girl Meets World alum even appearing on the title track of Swift’s recently released 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl.

The “Espresso” singer also appeared on stage during several legs, including Australia and South America, of Swift’s mammoth Eras tour, which ran from March 2023 to December 2024.

In August 2024, Carpenter gushed about her close connection to Swift during an interview with Variety and shared just how impressed she is by Swift’s work ethic.

“Well, Taylor is a rock star! She’s just such a gangster with all of it. No matter what people are saying, everything that I’ve ever seen her tackle, she’s done so with grace,” Carpenter told the outlet. “The posts about me having to ‘ask for her permission’ — no. She’s one of my best, best friends, and we grab dinner or text and catch up like you would with your best friend.”

Carpenter added that she knows Swift has her back when it comes to navigating the music industry.

“It’s so cool for me to get a perspective on this whole process from her and the community of artists that I feel I’m close to — to get advice from them on stuff that you can’t just ask the internet,” she added. “We’re always playing each other our [music], and whenever I start to think, ‘Maybe I’ll get on Twitter and say something about this,’ I’m always like, ‘Maybe I’ll write a song instead.’”

Boston Blue zeroed in on the distance between Donnie Wahlberg‘s Danny Reagan and his onscreen son, which came after the role was recast.

During the Friday, November 7, episode of the Blue Bloods spinoff, Sean (Mika Amonsen) told his best friend Jonah (Marcus Scribner) that he would love to be closer to his dad, saying, “I only wish I had that kind of relationship with my dad [that you had with yours]. [My dad is the best] when he’s around.”

Sean recalled when his bond with his father shifted.

“Even after my brother Jack went off to college and it was the two of us, he was always working,” he noted. “I never thought he’d leave New York and now he’s here.”

Jonah pointed out that Danny’s move to Boston was “for” Sean, who replied, “But the vibe hasn’t changed. I’m happy he’s here but I figure me becoming a cop — us having that in common — would bring us closer. But we’re not.”

While Sean didn’t bring up his issues to his dad, Danny figured it out by the end of the episode. “I moved here to be closer with you and I’ve done a lousy job. I’m sorry,” Danny said at the end. “What I always do is put my job first. Cops have an excuse to do the job 24/7 because we’re out saving lives and helping people.”

Sean tried to excuse Danny’s absence since it is “what Reagans do” for their job.

“Reagans don’t do it at the expense of family. My old man didn’t do it with me, and I can’t do it with you,” Danny replied. “I have to make time and carve out new traditions and celebrate the old ones.”

He continued: “Which reminds me, we have to find a Catholic church. Grandpa called and chewed me out about [not going] to church.”

The episode ended with Danny and Sean vowing to spend more time together. The story line comes after Blue Bloods fans were reintroduced to Sean, who was previously played by Andrew Terraciano. Before the spinoff premiered, news broke that Sean would be played by Amonsen.

Coshowrunner Brandon Margolis later broke down the decision, telling Variety last month, “We love Andrew and the work he did over the years on Blue Bloods. Really, it came down to we’re telling a new chapter in both of their lives.”

Which ‘Blue Bloods’ Stars Have Reprised Their Roles on ‘Boston Blue’ So Far?

Margolis continued: “It’s not just Sean who has joined the family business as it were and is turning over this new leaf, but it’s also now Danny Reagan is the father [of] a cop, which he’s never been before.”

The screenwriter called the switch “an organic opportunity to bring in a new performance with a new energy, to help dramatize that change.” The writers’ room was looking forward to “new storytelling lanes to explore” with the spinoff series.

“It is the same character, it’s the same relationship, but it’s also completely different,” Margolis added. “We love what Mika has brought to Sean, this vulnerability, yet this desire to prove himself. It’s just been great to watch it come to life.”

In a separate interview with TVLine, Margolis noted that he “loved” watching Terraciano “grow up on TV,” adding, “It creatively made sense to find an actor with a different energy.”

Margolis concluded: “And to your point, yeah, it was a gamble to open the show on a new face — two new faces, actually — but the story required us to love him right away. Opening with that heroic moment that has a tragic end was the right way to pull Danny Reagan into this world.”

Boston Blue airs on CBS Fridays at 10 p.m. ET.
