The contract dispute between DirecTV and The E.W. Scripps Company has continued into June, with DirecTV subscribers in almost 40 markets across the country still without access to local Scripps-owned stations.

The blackout has impacted major cities including Cleveland, Denver, Detroit, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Nashville and Phoenix, with subscribers no longer able to view their local ABC and NBC affiliates. The timing couldn’t be worse, as ABC is home to the current NBA and NHL finals, while the U.S. Open golf tournament airs on NBC, in addition to the broadcast networks’ regular lineup of shows.

Now, Scripps is directing viewers to other streaming and OTT services, lising YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV and Fubo as the best DirecTV alternatives.

YouTube TV is a paid arm of YouTube, that lets you watch 100+ channels over the internet, including NBC, ABC and ESPN for additional sports coverage. Pricing starts at just $67.99/month right now for your first five months of service (regularly $82.99/month). You can try out YouTube TV with a 10-day free trial here.
