Roku removes YouTube TV app from platform amid contract battle with Google
CBSN
Roku customers are blocked from downloading the YouTube TV app after Google ended its contract with the television streaming service.
Roku said it removed the YouTube TV app from its platform Friday because contract negotiations with the app's owner Google have soured. The breakdown won't affect customers who already have the app downloaded, Roku said. New customers can still access YouTube, just not YouTube TV. "We are disappointed that Google has allowed our agreement for the distribution of YouTube TV to expire," a Roku spokesperson said in a statement. "Roku has not asked for one dollar of additional financial consideration from Google to renew YouTube TV."More Related News
