Overview
- YouTube TV says negotiations to renew its Fox deal are ongoing and warns the networks could be removed at 5:00 p.m. ET on Aug. 27 if no agreement is reached.
- Channels at risk include the Fox broadcast network and local stations, FS1, FS2, Big Ten Network, Fox News, Fox Business, Fox Deportes and related services.
- A blackout would hit major live sports, including college football openers and local NFL games carried by Fox, and would lock existing DVR recordings from those channels.
- YouTube TV pledges a $10 credit if the outage persists and points viewers to Fox One as a separate subscription option.
- The dispute follows recent carriage showdowns and could affect millions, with YouTube TV reported at over 8 million subscribers and estimated near 9.4 million.
