YouTube TV To Carry Sinclair’s Tennis Channel, T2, Charge! & TBD

Sinclair Broadcast Group has set a distribution agreement with YouTube TV to add carriage of Tennis Channel, T2, Charge! and TBD to YouTube TV’s service offerings.

The agreement also extends YouTube TV’s existing carriage of Sinclair’s CBS and MyNetworkTV affiliated broadcast TV stations.

Tennis Channel and T2, Tennis Channel’s first free ad-supported TV (FAST) channel, are scheduled to debut on June 1, to coincide with Roland-Garros (the French Open). These additions give YouTube TV subscribers a means to watch Tennis Channel’s exclusive, live coverage of more than 93% of the professional tennis events each year.

Sinclair’s multicast networks Charge!, with a lineup of police procedural dramas, and TBD, featuring a slate of reality-based series, are also scheduled to launch on YouTube TV on June 1. Additionally, the agreement renews carriage of Comet, Sinclair’s network for fans of sci-fi and fantasy, bringing all three of Sinclair’s multicast television networks to YouTube TV’s lineup, offering subscribers access to the top fan-favorite series and franchises.

“We are pleased to reach an agreement that brings Tennis Channel, T2 and all three of our emerging networks to YouTube TV, a valued partner of ours,” said Will Bell, Sinclair SVP, head of distribution and network relations. “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. With Roland-Garros kicking-off May 28th, the timing is perfect for YouTube TV customers.”

Financial terms of the agreement were not released.
