YouTube TV to Drop Paramount Channels Amid Carriage Dispute

YouTube TV may soon remove all Paramount content from its service, including CBS. This move is part of a carriage dispute between YouTube TV and Paramount over programming costs. The departure of 24 channels will affect millions of subscribers.

The issue is not unique to this situation. Content providers often disagree with streaming services over licensing fees. These disputes usually resolve on their own, but sometimes require an outage to bring both parties together.

For football fans, the impact is expected to be temporary. The removal is likely to happen before September. However, for college basketball fans, it may cause inconvenience as they look for alternative channels to watch games.
