Several channels owned by Paramount Global, including CBS, Comedy Central and MTV, will soon disappear from YouTube TV on if the two companies don't reach a contract renewal. YouTube TV, owned by Alphabet, told its customers that it's "working hard to reach a fair agreement with Paramount that allows us to keep their channels," but despite negotiations, it hasn't "been successful yet." The channels will go dark tonight if a deal isn't reached. "Paramount is an important partner for us and as you can imagine, this is not the outcome that we want," YouTube TV said in a statement. "We're still in active conversations with Paramount and are hopeful we can come to an agreement to keep their content available on YouTube TV." Paramount said on a special webpage that YouTube TV is "attempting to pressure Paramount to unfavorable and one-sided terms" and that it's proposing a "comprehensive deal" to keep its channels on the service. |
