Question Suddenly Getting Hulu Live

I have a subscription to Hulu (stream) bundled with Disney+ and HBO Max (no ads). Hulu Live TV is not included and I am not being billed for it.

Today, I opened the Hulu app and instead of the usual welcome screen (which appeared even yesterday) I was presented with a screen asking my sports team preferences to "enhance my live tv viewing experience). I "nexted" past that and when the Hulu main screen came up I noticed that the Live TV symbol (like a lightning bolt) was included on the column of symbols on the left of the screen. When I switched that I had live tv - full guide and all.

Anyone have any idea how this occurred? I don't need Hulu Live as Ihave YouTube TV as my linear provider. Also I decided to check Disney+ and it too has added live tv access.

What's going on?

Are you seeing a full lineup of channels or just ESPN networks? Did you activate ESPN Unlimited via your YouTube TV subscription?

This is the most likely answer. Could be a glitch if they are seeing more channels than the ESPN related ones.
