Fox Channels Could Become Unavailable on YouTube TV Over Payment Dispute

Fox said it was ‘disappointed that Google continually exploits its outsized influence by proposing terms that are out of step with the marketplace.’

YouTube said on Monday that several Fox channels could become unavailable on YouTube TV if the two companies do not reach a deal by Aug. 27.

Google-owned YouTube said in a blog post that it is negotiating to renew its deal to carry Fox channels, but said the media company is asking for fees “far higher” than those paid to other partners offering similar content.
