Alphabet-owned YouTube and Fox announced on Thursday that they have reached an agreement to keep Fox News, Fox Sports, and other Fox channels available to YouTube TV subscribers.
The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Earlier this week, YouTube had been in negotiations with Fox, which was seeking higher payments than those given to partners providing similar content.
On Wednesday, YouTube confirmed a short-term agreement with Fox, giving both parties additional time to finalize a new distribution deal.
In February, YouTube TV reached a similar agreement with media giant Paramount Global to maintain channels such as CBS, Comedy Central, and Nickelodeon after previous contract negotiations briefly threatened the streaming partnership.
The carriage dispute drew attention from Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr, who warned that removing Fox channels from YouTube TV would be “a terrible outcome.”
“Millions of Americans are relying on YouTube to resolve this dispute so they can keep watching the news and sports they want including this week’s Big Game: Texas @ Ohio State,” Carr wrote on Tuesday on the social media platform X. “Get a deal done Google!”
