Overview
- Herring Networks says OAN and AWE will join YouTube TV’s base package in the fourth quarter of 2025 under a multi‑year agreement.
- Industry reports put YouTube TV at roughly 9.4–9.5 million subscribers, positioning it to become OAN’s largest distributor once the channels launch.
- OAN previously lost major carriers including DirecTV and Verizon after 2020 and was suspended by YouTube in 2020 before being readmitted to the YouTube Partner Program last December.
- The network says it now delivers 16 hours of live weekday news and has expanded production with a new California studio for The Matt Gaetz Show plus a Pentagon office studio.
- The announcement arrives as YouTube TV’s contract with Fox is set to expire at 5 p.m. ET today, with both companies issuing competing statements about renewal terms.
