Braves, Hawks and Atlanta United fans who subscribe to YouTube TV will be able to continue watching those teams’ games on the streaming service.
Sinclair Broadcast Group, which last year acquired the 21 Fox-branded regional sports networks across the country, announced Thursday that a deal has been reached to keep 19 of the networks, including Atlanta-based Fox Sports South and Fox Sports Southeast, on YouTube TV.
A week ago, YouTube TV said it would drop all of the Fox RSNs from customer lineups because of a contract dispute with Sinclair. That drew much backlash from sports fans, and YouTube reversed course two days later to say a “temporary extension” would keep the networks available to subscribers “while we work to reach an agreement.
