Sinclair Broadcast Group and YouTube TV on Thursday reached a deal to ensure the streaming service will continue to carry 19 of the 21 Fox Regional Sports Networks, including Fox Sports San Diego, the television home of the Padres.

Sinclair announced the deal in a press release.

“We are pleased that YouTube TV was able to agree to terms on 19 of our RSNs and that they will continue to provide subscribers with access to some of the most in-demand sports networks in the national,” David Gibber, senior vice president and general counsel of Sinclair, said in a statement. “Millions of fans across the country tune into sports content daily and, at Sinclair, our goal is to make this as widely accessible as possible.”

The deal means the Padres’ cord-cutting fans will not be in the dark, as feared when YouTube TV last week announced it was unable to reach a deal with Sinclair, which had purchased most of Fox’s regional sports networks from Disney last year for more than $10 billion.


The two sides agreed to an extension over the weekend as they worked toward the licensing deal that was announced Thursday.

Two regional networks, Fox Sports West and Fox Sports Prime Ticket, will no longer be carried on YouTube TV.
