From ROKU.com Update on YouTube TV channel on Roku Update 4/30/21 If you already have YouTube TV installed on your Roku device, you will continue to have access to the channel unless Google requires us to remove it. Note that you should not remove the channel if you plan to use it. New installations and reinstallations will not be possible at this time. Background Recent negotiations with Google to carry YouTube TV have broken down because Roku refuses to accept Google’s terms that we believe could directly harm our users. We will always stand up for our users, which is why we asked Google to remove what we believe to be unfair and anticompetitive requirements that could increase consumer cost and unnaturally impact your search results and the usage of your data. While we are deeply disappointed in Google’s decision to use their monopoly power to try and force terms that will directly harm streamers, we remain committed to reaching an agreement with Google that preserves your access to YouTube TV, protects your data and ensures a level playing field for companies to compete. We encourage you to contact Google and urge them to reach an agreement to continue offering YouTube TV on Roku and to follow standard industry practices, pledging not to require access to sensitive search data or to manipulate search results.
