YouTube TV pulled from Roku amid spat with Google

The battle between Roku and Google just got uglier.

Roku — which earlier this week accused Google of making “anti-competitive” demands and “unfair” terms for its YouTube TV and YouTube apps — said Friday it has removed Google-owned YouTube TV from its video-streaming platform after its contract to carry it expired. Current Roku subscribers will continue to have access to YouTube TV but new customers will not be able to download the app from its channel store. Google’s main YouTube app is under a separate distribution deal and is not affected by the YouTube TV blackout.
