We’re happy to share that we’ve reached a deal to continue carrying Paramount channels, including CBS, CBS Sports, Nickelodeon and more.

Update as of 8pm PT on 2/13/25:

We’ve reached a short term extension as we work toward a deal with Paramount to keep their content on YouTube TV. YouTube TV subscribers continue to have access to Paramount channels, including CBS, and any recordings that are in their Library. We appreciate your patience as we continue to negotiate on your behalf. We also value Paramount's partnership and willingness to work towards an agreement.

We've been working hard to reach a fair agreement with Paramount that allows us to keep their channels, including CBS and CBS Sports, on YouTube TV without passing on additional costs to our subscribers. Unfortunately, despite our good faith negotiations, we haven't been successful yet.

We understand how disappointing and disruptive it is to lose channels you enjoy on YouTube TV, so here's what you need to know:

• After February 13, 2025, all Paramount content, including CBS and CBS Sports, will be unavailable on YouTube TV.
• This also means that subscribers will not be able to access previous Library recordings from these channels or add-on services including Paramount+ with SHOWTIME and BET+.
• We're committed to providing you with the best possible value and entertainment experience. That's why we're fighting for an agreement that avoids passing along additional costs and offers you more flexibility in how you watch your favorite sports and shows.
• We're still actively negotiating with Paramount and will keep you updated on our progress. If we can't reach an agreement and their content is unavailable for an extended period of time, we'll offer subscribers an $8 credit. You can still watch Paramount shows and movies by signing up for their streaming service, Paramount+, starting at $7.99 a month.

Paramount is an important partner for us and as you can imagine, this is not the outcome that we want. We’re still in active conversations with Paramount and are hopeful we can come to an agreement to keep their content available on YouTube TV.
