Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc. said it has reached a new
distribution agreement with Alphabet Inc.'s YouTube TV to add
carriage of Tennis Channel, T2, CHARGE! and TBD to YouTube TV's
offerings.
The deal also extends YouTube TV's existing carriage of
Sinclair's CBS and MyNetworkTV affiliated broadcast stations.
Tennis Channel airs exclusive and live coverage of major
tournaments, and it also recently started broadcasting some Major
League Pickleball games. CHARGE! Airs police procedural dramas, the
company said, and TBD features a slate of reality-based series.
The channels will launch on YouTube TV on June 1. The companies
didn't disclose the financial terms of the deal.
"As the media landscape continues to evolve, our goal remains
the same--to bring our unrivaled content to people wherever they
want to experience it," said Will Bell, Sinclair's head of
distribution and network relations.
