YouTube TV could lose Fox channels this week

With the start of the NFL season looming, it is also a window where many television contracts are renewed, and Monday evening, YouTube TV and Fox sent alerts indicating that their contract could end on August 27, at 5 p.m. YouTube TV belonging to Google says that “Fox asks for much higher payments than partners with comparable content offers”, while Fox says that “Google tries to use its market power to put pressure on the fox to accept unfavorable and unilateral conditions, prioritizing its own interests on a fair agreement for its client.”

Risk channels include Fox News, Fox Business, Fox Sports and The Big Ten Network. But in areas where Fox also has the local broadcast network, a disturbance could also cost viewers access to a piece of NFL games, which is why the contract is now to be renewed. Horrible ad Emphasizes that the first big match on the slate is a university football match, Texas against Ohio State on Saturday, before the first week of the NFL matches the following weekend.

In addition to navigating the reduction in the reduction in the scope and influence of traditional cable television, another complication for a new agreement could be the Fox One streaming package directly to the Fox consumer, which currently includes access to subscribers of paid television without additional costs for their existing invoice. We do not know how it could affect the negotiations or explosions of Trump and other politicians if Fox News is not available for subscribers of YouTube TV, which analyst Moffettnathanson recently estimated at 9.4 million.

The announcement of YouTube TV indicates that if they cannot conclude an agreement, Fox One is an option for consumers, and that it will credit the members of $ 10 “… if the Fox content becomes unavailable for an extended period.”
