Bad news for cord cutters who love sports.
YouTube TV announced Thursday that it will not longer carry Fox Regional Sports Networks and the YES Network due to a dispute with Sinclair Broadcast Group. The two sports networks will no longer be available live, on demand or recorded on the Google-owned streaming service.
“Please know that we do not take this decision lightly. We value your membership and will continue to strive to build the best streaming experience possible,” YouTube TV said in a statement.
“This is a reflection of the rising cost of sports content. You may have noticed several other TV services have also decided to remove FOX Regional Sports Networks from their lineups,” the platform added on Twitter. “Thank you for your membership as we strive to build the best possible streaming experience for you. You will receive an email today if you’re impacted by this change.”
According to Bleacher Nation, other sports networks are being dropped from YouTube TV in other markets, including the Marquee Sports Network for Chicago Cubs fans.
The YES Network, which Sinclair owns a 20 percent stake in, carries the New York Yankees and other New York sports teams, including the NBA’s Brooklyn Nets, the WNBA’s New York Liberty, the MLS’ New York City FC, and some Syracuse Orange games.
Sinclair is the nation’s largest owner of local television stations, including CNY Central’s NBC 3 (WSTM-TV), CW 6 (WSTQ) and CBS 5 (WTVH) in Syracuse.
It’s unclear if a deal will be reached before the 2020 Major League Baseball season begins.
