Shortly after being dashed, hope for a Marquee Sports Network carriage deal with YouTube TV was renewed last week when the streaming service reached a temporary extension on negotiations with the Sinclair Broadcast Group. But as Eric Fisher of Sports Business reported Thursday, YouTube TV has once again dropped at least some Sinclair properties from its platform.
While this doesn’t appear to be an across-the-board blackout, the temporary arrangement “has not held in key US media markets such as New York and Los Angeles.” That means dropping YES Network, perhaps the most popular and widespread of all the regional sports networks in Sinclair’s stable.
