Carr Pressing YouTube to Reach Carriage Deal With Fox

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr is pressuring YouTube parent Google in a looming carriage dispute with Fox Corp. "Get a deal done Google!" Carr wrote Tuesday on social media. "Google removing Fox channels from YouTube TV would be a terrible outcome. Millions of Americans are relying on YouTube to resolve this dispute so they can keep watching the news and sports they want -- including this week’s Big Game: Texas @ Ohio State."

YouTube said Monday that its carriage agreement with Fox was to expire at 5 p.m. Wednesday, adding that Fox was "asking for payments that are far higher than what partners with comparable content offerings receive."
