The ongoing agreement dispute between YouTube TV and Fox is getting deeper day by day. In such a situation, if the two companies do not reach a new agreement by 5 pm (local time) on Wednesday, then many big Fox channels, such as Fox Sports, Fox Business, Fox News, APS1, and Big Ten Network, can be removed from YouTube TV. This could harm millions of subscribers of Google-owned streaming service YouTube TV, especially those who watch live events like college football and news channels.
What is the real reason for the dispute?
Let us tell you that in this case, YouTube said on Monday that Fox is demanding a very high payment from them, which is unfair compared to the rest of the channels in the market. YouTube says that it wants an agreement that is fair to both parties, and subscribers are not burdened with additional expenses. In such a situation, if Fox's channels are not available on YouTube TV for a long time, the company will give a credit of $ 10 to the subscribers. YouTube TV's base plan is currently $ 82.99 per month, which includes more than 100 live channels.
Fox responded
In this case, Fox accused Google of using its influence to impose unfair conditions. Fox said that it is ready for a settlement, but if Google does not show seriousness, then viewers may be deprived of watching their favorite channels. Along with this, amid the controversy, Fox has advised viewers to visit its website keepfox.com, where it is stated which channels can be affected.
The Trump administration is also keeping an eye.
However, the US Communications Commission (FCC) chairman, Brendan Carr has also intervened in this matter. He has appealed to Google to resolve this dispute soon so that millions of American viewers can enjoy news and sports, including this week's big match Texas vs Ohio State.
