How to watch ABC for free if you lost access with YouTube TV: ‘DWTS,’ Michelle Obama special, more
Share and Follow


This weekend offers a lineup of must-watch television, and you won’t want to miss it.

As of October 31, YouTube TV subscribers found themselves unexpectedly without access to Disney-owned channels. This change affects popular networks such as ABC, ESPN, FX, and Disney Channel, among others.

While this may be disappointing, there’s still a way to catch all your favorite programs, including “Dancing with the Stars,” “High Potential,” “The Golden Bachelor,” and the special feature, “Michelle Obama: The Style, The Power, The Look – A Conversation with Robin Roberts,” which debuted on November 2.

One of the best alternatives for viewing these shows is DIRECTV, which offers a five-day free trial, allowing you to explore its offerings at no cost initially.

If you missed the eagerly anticipated Halloween episode of “Dancing with the Stars,” there’s no need to worry. You can still enjoy the entire 34th season for free, featuring performances by Alix Earle, Jordan Chiles, Dylan Efron, and Danielle Fishel.

DIRECTV will also have all the college football games this weekend.
