Alphabet-owned YouTube and Fox said Thursday that they have reached an appointment that will hold Fox News, Fox Sports and other Fox channels available to YouTube TV subscribers.

The companies did not reveal the financial conditions of the agreement.

Earlier this week, YouTube had been in negotiations with Fox, where the media company asked for payments over those received by partners who provided comparable content.

On Wednesday, YouTube said it reached a short -term deal with Fox that would buy time for the parties to reach a new distribution agreement.

In February, YouTube TV reached a deal with Media Giant Paramount Global to keep channels like CBS, Comedy Central and Nickelodeon available after failing negotiations on a new contract briefly left the future of the streaming partnership in Limbo.

The wagon conflict caught the attention of the federal chairman of the Communication Commission Brendan Carr, who said the company that removed Fox channels from YouTube -TV would be “a terrible result”.

“Millions of Americans are dependent on YouTube to resolve this dispute so they can continue to see the news and sports they want – including this week’s big game: Texas @ Ohio State,” Carr wrote on Tuesday on social media platform X. “Get a deal Google!”
