College football fans concerned about missing one of the opening weekend's marquee matchups can breathe easier after Fox and YouTube TV reached a full carriage agreement on Thursday.
The sides' dispute had threatened to prevent YouTube TV's 9 million-plus subscribers from watching the Saturday matchup between No. 1 Texas and No. 3 Ohio State. Fox and YouTube TV had agreed to a short-term extension on Wednesday, keeping Fox's channels available with talks ongoing.
Financial terms of the agreement weren't announced.
YouTube TV wrote in a statement, 'We're happy to share that we've reached an agreement with Fox to keep their content on YouTube TV, preserve the value of our service for our subscribers, and offer more flexibility in the future. This means that Fox channels, including the Fox broadcast network, Fox News, and Fox Sports, remain available for our subscribers along with 100+ channels and football fans will not miss any of the action this weekend.'
Federal Communications Commission chairman Brendan Carr, who earlier this week called for the sides to reach a deal, tweeted Thursday night, 'I'm very pleased that Google and Fox have now reached a deal. This is great news for college football fans and avoids blackouts. Enjoy the games this weekend!'
