Paramount Global's popular channels, including CBS, Nickelodeon, and MTV, will no longer be available on YouTube TV starting Thursday after the companies failed to renew their contract. The dispute centers on pricing and contract terms, with both parties blaming each other for the breakdown.
Paramount accused YouTube TV of pushing "one-sided terms" and "non-market demands" that threaten the availability of its networks. A spokesperson stated that Paramount has made multiple fair offers to maintain its relationship with Google-owned YouTube TV and remains committed to reaching an agreement.
YouTube TV, which streams live TV and on-demand content, acknowledged the ongoing negotiations, emphasizing its goal of keeping Paramount's channels while ensuring a fair deal for subscribers. The platform assured customers that if an agreement isn’t reached soon, it will offer an $8 credit to affected users.
The dispute affects major channels like BET, CBS Sports Network, Comedy Central, and Paramount Network. Subscribers also risk losing access to add-on services, including Paramount+ with SHOWTIME and BET+.
This contract dispute highlights ongoing tensions between content providers and streaming platforms over pricing and distribution rights. If unresolved, millions of YouTube TV subscribers could lose access to Paramount’s networks, impacting both companies' revenue and viewership.
