YouTube TV Paramount Channels Set to Vanish amid Contract Standoff
Looks like we’ve got some drama brewing in the streaming world, and it’s affecting our favorite shows on YouTube TV. Let me tell you what’s going down with this situación that’s got everyone talking about their evening entertainment plans.
The Big Changes Coming Our Way
Mi gente, get ready for some changes because YouTube TV is about to say “hasta luego” to all Paramount channels. Starting February 13, 2025, we’re looking at losing access to some major channels like CBS, Nickelodeon, and MTV. The negotiations between these dos gigantes haven’t worked out como esperábamos, and now we’re all feeling the impact. The good news? If this goes down, YouTube TV is offering an $8 credit to subscribers, but let’s be real – we’d rather have our shows than the dinero, right?
What This Means for Your Favorite Shows
Listen up, amigos – this isn’t just about losing live channels. If you’ve been saving up episodes of your favorite shows on DVR, those recordings from Paramount channels will vanish too. We’re talking about losing access to CBS Sports (right before March Madness, ¡qué terrible!), Comedy Central, TV Land, and the Paramount Network. For all you sports fanatics and novela lovers out there, this means you might need to get creative about how you catch your must-watch programs.
YouTube TV has dropped CBS and other Paramount channels after failing to reach a new deal.

Finding Alternative Ways to Watch
No te preocupes – there are still ways to get your Paramount fix! If you’re not ready to say goodbye to your favorite shows, you can sign up directly for Paramount+ starting at $7.99 per month. It’s like having a Plan B in your back pocket, familia. The negotiations are still ongoing, so there’s hope that YouTube TV and Paramount might reach an agreement before we all have to make any big changes to our viewing habits.
What’s Next for Subscribers
For now, the best thing we can do is estar preparados for what’s coming. YouTube TV currently has more than 8 million subscribers according to CEO Neal Mohan, and they’re trying their best to work things out. If you’re wondering about those big upcoming events like March Madness and The Masters, you might want to start exploring your options now. Remember, familia, sometimes these corporate disagreements get resolved at the last minute, so let’s keep our fingers crossed and say a little prayer to la Virgen that everything works out!
These business disputas always seem to work themselves out eventually, but in the meantime, stay tuned and keep those remote controls ready for whatever comes next. ¡Adelante!
