I have no knowledge if CBS station in my area will be affected because it is owned by Nexstar that where YouTube TV carry NewsNation.

The value of Paramount owned channels are down because of cord cutters and streaming era, so it make harder for YouTube TV to accept the price hikes.

You will be fine if there is dispute arose and it only affect O&O networks owned by CBS and former UPN (MyNetworkTV).

YouTube TV and Paramount agreed on short term deal for now.

Last night I was watching CBS (on tv with an antenna) and practically every commercial break had a PSA for CBS and the other Paramount networks may be dropped.

Are you live in metro area with O&O (owned and operated) CBS station?

No I don’t think so.

No I don’t think so.

Interesting, I tried to find a warning screen on CBS station in my area but it is not there. Comedy Central, Nickelodeon and MTV showed warning screen on Wednesday night. Paramount Network seems not show anything, hmm.

You can check if local station is O&O or not - they are often in very major metro like Los Angeles, New York City, Miami, Philly and Chicago.

Also, YouTube TV make deal with major studios for some local channels if broadcasting companies refuse to carry and it means subscribers receive alternate feed of channels with much if not all of local contents stripped out.

I live in the Seattle-Tacoma area so our CBS isn’t an owned and operated station. Here’s a picture of a ticker I saw across the screen last night.

It looks like CBS slipped warning into primetime shows since CBS has full control with primetime slots.

or Cox (owner of KIRO-TV) let Paramount to supply their channel to YouTube TV.

It looks like YouTube TV is at risk of losing all Fox owned channels, including local channels if not resolved by August 27.

YouTube TV, Fox face contract impasse at start of football season

Every year, it seems, the approach of football season includes a significant carriage dispute that will potentially impact viewers.

Fox want higher cost and as for me, exception of local Fox, rest of Fox owned channels are garbage, sorry if you don't like my opinion. Also, I'm able to get local Fox with antenna but it is not my preferred method due to poor picture quality on some days. Lose Fox News is going to put me at showdown with my family member that is avid viewer. Hopefully it gets resolved soon and YouTube TV want to limit the price hike after steep hike last year. Also, YouTube TV has Newsmax that may help to moderate the impact from carriage dispute.
