YouTube TV is supposed to bring the best parts of cable TV to streaming, but it's also bringing one of the most annoying parts: carriage disputes.
Roku and Google are apparently fighting over the terms of carrying YouTube TV on Roku's streaming platform. Roku has sent out an email blast to customers with a subject line saying, "Google may remove your access to YouTube TV." If you can't already tell, we're getting a very one-sided take on the story right now. Google has yet to offer a response to Roku's first salvo, though we've asked for comment and will update this article if Google responds. Update: Google has responded, see below.
