Overview
- Fox’s broadcast network, Fox News, Fox Sports and local Fox stations will remain on YouTube TV, avoiding an outage before Texas–Ohio State and the NFL’s kickoff.
- The companies did not disclose financial terms after a dispute over fees that YouTube said were higher than peers and Fox said reflected marketplace norms.
- YouTube TV had warned channels could go dark after a 5 p.m. ET Aug. 27 deadline, then secured a temporary extension while negotiations continued.
- YouTube told customers it would offer a $10 credit and point them to Fox’s new Fox One service if a blackout occurred, measures that are no longer needed.
- FCC chair Brendan Carr publicly urged a resolution as millions of subscribers—roughly 8 to 9.4 million by recent estimates—faced potential disruptions.
