On Wednesday, YouTube TV announced that “despite our best efforts, we’ve been unable to reach a fair deal with Paramount to keep their channels on YouTube TV and their channels may be unavailable tomorrow,” just weeks before March Madness and the Masters are set to be broadcast on CBS and other Paramount channels.

YouTube TV has reached a deal with Paramount to avoid cutting off subscribers’ access to certain channels, including CBS, CBS Sports and Nickelodeon. Earlier this week, YouTube TV announced in a blog post that Paramount content would be removed from its platform after February 13 because the two had failed to reach “a fair agreement” that would keep those channels available.

Days after YouTube published a blog post saying it could lose Paramount content soon, it updated the post to announce a deal to keep it. The company posted on X that, as a result, channels such as CBS, CBS Sports, and Nickelodeon and add-ons like Paramount Plus, Showtime, and BET Plus will stick around after all.

YouTube TV announced a deal to keep Paramount channels on its platform had been reached Saturday night, ending a public contract dispute.

YouTube TV and Paramount have approxmiately a month to resolve their carriage dispute before the NCAA men's tournament tips off March 18 and the Masters begins April 10.

YouTube TV and Paramount have reached a long-term deal after negotiations became murky last week and the threat of channels like CBS, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, and MTV going dark on the Google-owned platform almost became a reality.

The new deal resolves a carriage dispute that threatened to make Paramount-affiliated channels go dark on the streaming service.

YouTube TV and Paramount have reached a new agreement to keep Paramount's networks and content on the Google cable TV alternative.

YouTube and Paramount were struggling to reach "a fair deal," potentially causing all 30+ Paramount channels to disappear. That crisis was avoided.
