YouTube FOX TV Dispute - Wed 5PM PST Deadline
It is amazing how well Google/Alphabet (GOOGL) has done with its purchase of YouTube...
I have DISH, YouTube TV, Netflix and sometimes Prime... with a lot of double paying between DISH and YouTube. Gotta spend the $ on something so I try to not let the cost bother me.
One nice feature with DISH is if I record shows from the Satellite rather than via streaming, the digital content is mine so I can watch movies I save from free trials, or paid for a month or two, as long as I pay DISH to use the DVR and any attached hard drives for storing extra content.
An update on our partnership with Fox
By The YouTube Team
Aug 25, 2025
At YouTube TV, our goal is to provide the best in live sports, news and entertainment. A key part of that commitment is our partnership with content providers like Fox, which allows us to carry a wide variety of channels.
Our current agreement with Fox is approaching its renewal date and we are in active and ongoing negotiations to continue carrying their content. Fox is asking for payments that are far higher than what partners with comparable content offerings receive. Our priority is to reach a deal that reflects the value of their content and is fair for both sides without passing on additional costs to our subscribers.
We want to be transparent about these discussions: if we are unable to reach a new agreement by 5:00 PM ET on August 27, 2025, Fox channels including Fox Sports, Business, and News would become unavailable on YouTube TV. Content from these channels saved in your library would also become unavailable at this time.
We are working diligently with the team at Fox to reach an agreement. We know this uncertainty is frustrating, and if Fox content becomes unavailable for an extended period of time, we will provide our members with a $10 credit. In the meantime, in the event that Fox content becomes unavailable, you will still be able to watch their shows and sports by signing up for Fox One.
We value our partnership with Fox and will continue our discussions toward reaching a deal that keeps their content on YouTube TV.
