Following seemingly strained negotiations, YouTube TV has confirmed a contract renewal that will keep Fox channels on the live TV service.
YouTube confirmed earlier this week that it was struggling to reach a deal with Fox to renew the contract for various networks including Fox Sports. Channels were set to go dark on August 27, but a last-minute extension kept channels live for customers.
In an update tonight, YouTube has confirmed that Fox channels will remain on YouTube TV.
An email to customers reads:
We’re happy to share that we’ve reached a deal with Fox to keep their content on YouTube TV. That means you will continue to have access to Fox channels, including the Fox Broadcast Network, Fox News, and Fox Sports, and any Fox recordings in your Library. If you’re subscribed to add-ons like Spanish Plus, 4K Plus, Sports Plus, and Fox Nation, access to that content also remains uninterrupted.
We’re pleased to have reached a deal that preserves the value of our service for our subscribers. That said, we know potential disruptions are frustrating, even when they don’t occur, so we thank you for your patience. As a reminder, family managers have the ability to pause or cancel anytime.
