YouTube TV and Paramount have reached a long-term deal after negotiations became murky last week and the threat of channels like CBS, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, and MTV going dark on the Google-owned platform almost became a reality.

YouTube TV and Paramount have reached a new agreement to keep Paramount's networks and content on the Google cable TV alternative.

Dozens of live television channels could soon disappear for YouTube TV subscribers as the streaming service continues to negotiate a new deal with Paramount, owners of CBS, BET, MTV, Comedy Central and more.

DIRECTV Stream offers ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX, unlike other services on this list. On top of that, a subscription gets you access to more than 90 other channels in its base package, including Nickelodeon, MTV, CNN and vh1.

Paramount is notifying YouTube TV subscribers that channels including CBS, BET, Comedy Central, MTV and Nickelodeon could go dark on the service.

YouTube TV and Paramount have solidified a long-term agreement, ensuring that popular channels like CBS, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, and MTV remain accessible on the platform. This resolution follows a period of tense negotiations that nearly resulted in a blackout of these channels.
