Short-Term Deal Extension to Avoid Blackout of CBS

YouTube TV and Paramount Global Reach Short-Term Extension Amid Distribution Deal Dispute

YouTube TV and Paramount Global are currently in negotiations over a new distribution deal, with Paramount seeking a rate hike which has led to a stand-off between the two companies. The existing deal expired on Feb. 13, but a short-term extension has been reached to allow YouTube TV to continue carrying CBS and over 20 other networks for the time being.

As the largest broadband-delivered subscription TV service in the U.S. with over 8 million customers, YouTube TV is facing the risk of losing access to several Paramount networks including CBS stations nationwide, CBS Sports Network, BET, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, MTV, and more if a long-term agreement is not reached.

In response to the potential blackout, Paramount has alerted customers and set up a website urging viewers to voice their displeasure with YouTube TV. The media company alleges that YouTube TV is putting its own interests above a fair agreement and is pressuring Paramount to agree to unfavorable terms.

YouTube TV, on the other hand, claims to be working towards a fair agreement that allows them to keep Paramount channels without passing on additional costs to subscribers. In the event of an extended blackout, YouTube TV has promised customers an $8 credit and suggested signing up for Paramount+ to access their shows and movies.

This dispute comes on the heels of YouTube TV’s recent price hike, which saw a $10 increase in the monthly subscription cost. While programming standoffs are not uncommon in the pay-TV industry, YouTube TV has managed to avoid blackouts for the most part, with the exception of a two-day blackout of ESPN and Disney channels in 2021.

Paramount has recently closed multiyear deals with major cable operators like Comcast and Charter Communications, including rights to offer Paramount+ as part of their services. The outcome of the current negotiations between YouTube TV and Paramount Global remains uncertain as both companies seek to protect their interests.
