Paramount Global is warning of a looming carriage impasse with YouTube TV, meaning channels like CBS, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central and others could go dark Thursday for millions of subscribers.
“We have made a series of fair offers to continue our long-standing relationship with Google’s YouTube TV, providing subscribers access to the full array of Paramount’s entertainment, news and sports programming,” a spokesperson for Paramount said in a statement provided to Deadline.
The statement goes on to note that Paramount has reached renewals with multiple distributors in recent months. Streaming outlets Paramount+ and BET+ could also be removed from YouTube’s channel store, Paramount said.
“YouTube TV is attempting to pressure Paramount to agree to one-sided terms, and these non-market demands may lead to an avoidable loss of Paramount’s networks,” the statement added.
