YouTube said on Monday it is in talks to renew a content partnership |
|
with Fox, but the media company is asking for payments above those |
|
received by partners providing comparable content. |
|
|
|
“If we are unable to reach a new agreement by 5:00 PM ET on August |
|
27, Fox channels including Fox Sports, Business, and News would become |
|
unavailable on YouTube TV,” YouTube said in a blog post. |
|
|
|
YouTube, owned by Alphabet, also said it is in active negotiations with |
|
Fox, looking to reach a deal that is fair for both sides “without |
|
passing on additional costs to our subscribers.” |
|
|
|
Should Fox’s content become unavailable for an extended period of |
|
time, YouTube will provide members with a $10 credit. |
|
|
|
Separately, Fox said it is “disappointed that Google continually |
|
exploits its outsized influence by proposing terms that are out of step |
|
with the marketplace,” adding that it is alerting users that they |
|
could lose access to content “unless Google engages in a meaningful |
|
way soon.” |
|
|
|
In February, YouTube TV reached a deal with media giant Paramount |
|
Global to keep channels like CBS, Comedy Central and Nickelodeon |
|
available, after failed negotiations for a new contract had briefly |
|
left the future of the streaming partnership in limbo. |
