Paramount and YouTube TV Agree to Short-Term Extension Avoiding CBS Soaps and Other Shows From Being Disrupted

In a last minute reprieve, Paramount Global and YouTube TV have reached a short-term solution via an extension so that the internet TV service can continue to carry CBS and more than 20 other networks for the time being. The dispute between the two entities is over a new distribution deal, which has not been fully hashed out.

The two companies have been battling it out over financial terms, with Paramount seeking a rate hike. Their existing deal expired at 11 p.m. ET/8 pm PT tonight on February 13th. The fallout could have affected the launch of the new CBS daytime drama Beyond the Gates for millions who use this service, as well as continued viewing of soap staples; The Bold and the Beautiful and The Young and the Restless.

However, word of a short-term fix arrived on X, via the You Tube TV account, who shared in a statement, “We’ve reached a short-term extension with Paramount to keep their content on YouTube TV. Subscribers continue to have access to Paramount channels, including CBS. We appreciate your patience as we continue to negotiate on your behalf.” It should be noted that no timeline for how long the extension is for has been revealed.

Earlier today the same social media account for YouTube TV expressed, “For our members: We work hard to bring you the content you love, delivered the way you want. Despite our best efforts, we’ve been unable to reach a fair deal with Paramount to keep their channels on YouTube TV and their channels may be unavailable tomorrow. We understand how frustrating and disruptive this is for our users. We’re committed to continuing conversations with Paramount to advocate for you and hope to keep their channels on YouTube TV.”

For point of reference, YouTube TV is the largest broadband-delivered subscription TV service in the U.S. with more than 8 million customers. The channels that would be affected included: CBS stations nationwide, CBS Sports Network, BET, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, MTV, TV Land, Paramount Network, CMT and VH1. In addition, YouTube TV customers would lose access to recorded Paramount content as well as add-on subscriptions to Paramount+ with Showtime and BET+ if the companies can’t reach a long-term agreement.

With the crisis avoided for 8 million subscribers who watch CBS programming and on Paramount+, the short term extension will allow those to see next week’s “Beyond the Gates: Welcome to the Neighborhood” five-part special airing February 17-21, and the premiere of the new groundbreaking soap opera in its regular timeslot beginning on Monday, February 24th a 2pm ET/1pm PT.

So, glad to know that Paramount and YouTube TV reached a deal to keep access to CBS programming and more? Comment below.

The viewing public is sick and tired of the constant greed for these corporations, the content providers and the distributors. I dumped cable decades ago because of the horrible service and constant rate hikes. I went to satellite and stayed with them until last year when their rate hikes became too much. I’ve been with YouTube TV since then. But, they are starting the same nonsense. I guess I’ll just have to go back to the an antenna and be satisfied with whatever I can find on over air broadcast TV. Believe me young people, we were much better off back in the dark ages when there were 3 TV networks and 2 or 3 local independent stations. There was plenty to watch that held your attention.

Thank you so much for keeping this available. How disappointing it would be to lose CBS

The 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards red carpet arrivals featured many a leading man from your favorite soaps, plus the younger stars and veteran actors you’ve come to love.

The gents were definitely about the bowties this year, plus fashion-forward trends, classic suit and tux looks, or sport jacket and no tie. There were a myriad of fashion choices on display from the one thing the soaps are usually known for, ‘hot’ guys.

This year for the first time the red carpet featured the cast of Beyond the Gates who were eligible for Daytime Emmy competition for the first time in their young history, bringing fresh faces and new vibes to the festivities.

LEADING MEN, VETERAN STARS AND NEWCOMERS STRIKE A POSE

Many of this year’s nominees who went on to become eventual winners, previous Emmy winners, and more, took to the carpet to strike a pose for the paparazzi in attendance.

Some of the standout looks came from (pictured above): Steve Burton (Jason Morgan, General Hospital) in traditional black tux with a sheen, Lawrence Saint-Victor (Carter Walton, The Bold and the Beautiful), Giovanni Mazza (Gio Palmieri), Jibre Hordges (Jacob Hawthorne, Beyond the Gates) and Michael Graziadei  (Daniel Romalotti, The Young and the Restless), all wearing tuxes, suits or sportcoat and trousers with a bowtie, plus now two-time Daytime Emmy winner, Roger Howarth (Matt Clark, The Young and the Restless) who gave us that stellar jacket and more relaxed vibe for the carpet.

Now below, check out the other actors who made an impression with red carpet fashion at the Daytime Emmy Awards this past Friday night.

EMOTIONS RAN HIGH

Outstanding Lead Actor in a Daytime Drama Series went to The Bold and the Beautiful’s Scott Clifton, who won his fourth Emmy overall and second in Lead for his touching performances as Liam Spencer during Liam’s medical crisis storyline for an inoperable brain tumor, which turned out to be a ruse.

During his acceptance speech, Clifton shared, “This means so much to me, not the thing, the attaboy from my peers. I can think of few things that bring me more joy than that.”

Speaking on his fellow nominees which included the likes of Y&R’s Eric Braeden (Victor Newman)  and GH’s Steve Burton, (Jason Morgan) Clifton said, “I am in awe of all of you, and you’ve taught me so much. It was a really hard year, and you made me invincible. You are my existential oxygen tank. And I don’t know what I would do without you. I love you, and I am grateful to you.

DECADES BETWEEN

In the Outstanding Supporting Actor and Actress categories, two longtime names synonymous with daytime drama, Roger Howarth (Matt Clark, Y&R) and Beth Maitland (Traci Abbott, Y&R) won their second Emmys in their career. Roger 32 years after his last Emmy playing Todd Manning on One Life to Live in 1994, and Beth Maitland for winning 41 years after becoming Y&R’s first performer to win Emmy gold back in 1985.

General Hospital executive producer,  Frank Valentini and his producing team took home the gold for the sixth year in a row for Outstanding Daytime Drama Series for the ABC soap. He later shared a moment with Scott Clifton, who started his daytime career as Dillon Quartermaine on GH.

During the ceremonies, the iconic Genie Francis (Laura, General Hospital) was presented with the Daytime Emmy Lifetime Achievement Award by her husband actor and director, Jonathan Frakes. After Francis received the award she posed for some snaps for the photographers in attendance.
