The issues come at a time when Vidgo is trying to position itself as a premium destination for professional and college sports — the service carries top-tier sports channels like ESPN, ESPN 2 and Fox Sports 1 as well as niche sports networks like Longhorn Network, ACC Network, Big 10 Network and Pac-12 Network — with plans starting at $70 a month. Last year, executives at Vidgo said their overall strategy was to reach cord-cutters in the heartland of the country who were underserved by cable, satellite and larger streaming services like YouTube TV, Fubo and DirecTV Stream. To accomplish this, Vidgo has focused on signing programming deals with media firms that offer right-of-center news channels and college sports networks over general entertainment channels and broadcast stations.
