Paramount Global has reached a deal with YouTube TV, ensuring that local channels like WCAX and CBS will not be removed from the service. The agreement comes after negotiations between the two companies were nearing an expiration. Earlier this week, CBS informed its affiliates that they might lose access to YouTube TV if a deal couldn’t be reached. To avoid this, Paramount Global extended talks with Google, the parent company of YouTube TV, until Friday evening. Another extension allowed programming to stay in place as discussions continued into Saturday night. The deal settles disputes over local stations’ ability to make agreements on behalf of themselves and their networks regarding streaming services.
