YouTube TV and FOX Corp. are working on an extension to keep channels like Fox News on the service. At the same time, the platform is adding OAN.
The deal will see OAN be added to the streaming platform at some point in the fourth quarter of 2025.
“Our goal has always been to provide our subscribers with a wide range of content, which is why we’re excited to bring One America News to YouTube TV,” said YouTube Vice President & Global Head of Media Justin Connolly. “This partnership gives One America News access to our growing audience, while also giving our subscribers even more choice when it comes to news and entertainment.”
“We’re excited to bring OAN and AWE to YouTube TV’s ever-growing community of subscribers,” added OAN President of Distribution Richard Levin. “This partnership makes it easier than ever for viewers nationwide to connect with our networks — from in-depth news reporting to inspiring entertainment. We’re delighted to be part of the YouTube TV channel lineup.”
The news of the addition of OAN to the YouTube TV lineup comes as the platform is in active negotiations to keep FOX Corp. channels on the service. Earlier this week, the service shared that there was a Wednesday deadline to reach an agreement between the two parties.
However, the two announced what was called a “short-term extension” to “avoid service disruption for YouTube TV subscribers.”
“We’re committed to advocating on behalf of our members and will keep you posted on our progress,” YouTube said in a statement.
According to estimates from MoffettNathanson, YouTube TV had 9.5 million subscribers at the end of 2024.
