CBS and several other Paramount channels set to go dark on YouTube TV

CNN  

New York CNN — Several channels owned by Paramount Global, including CBS, Comedy Central and MTV, will soon disappear from YouTube TV on Thursday 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. “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. “Paramount has a long track record of successfully and amicably renewing partnerships with every major distributor, including several in recent months, and we will continue our efforts to reach a new agreement with YouTube TV,” a Paramount spokesperson told CNN.
