It wasn’t clear if Fubo TV simply decided to not negotiate a new agreement, or if AMC Networks demanded a fee increase that the streaming service was unable to pay. The removal of the channels came after a carriage agreement between Fubo TV and AMC Networks expired at the end of the year. No one will receive refunds or credits, even though the channels were promoted to customers when they prepaid for Fubo TV, which starts at $70 a month.

Customers who have programs from AMC and supported channels in their cloud DVRs won’t lose access to them for the time being. In a statement, a Fubo TV executive said AMC Networks “have left Fubo TV” as of December 31. AMC’s premium offering, AMC Premiere, is also gone. Late Saturday evening, Fubo TV dropped around a dozen channels owned and distributed by AMC Networks, including the flagship AMC channel, IFC, We TV, Sundance, BBC America, BBC World News and specialty channels like El Gourmet and Mas Chic.

YouTube TV sent out another tweet apologizing and announcing that the game was back on the streaming service.Īnd on Thursday, YouTube TV sent out an e-mail to subscribers offering a free week of service following the World Cup outage.įuboTV could be looking at something like that here, and considering a lot of the vitriol available on Twitter from angry subscribers, that might be the wise approach to try and repair their customer relations.A banner with the logo of streaming service Fubo TV hangs outside the New York Stock Exchange. Understandably, soccer fans were quite angry about the outage, which reportedly lasted about an hour. Croatia and England were tied 1-1 in a World Cup semifinal ( which Croatia went on to win 2-1), when YouTube TV crashed.

YouTube TV viewers experienced a service interruption at a brutal time on Wednesday. In 2018, YouTube TV service went down for a portion of England-Croatia, leading to the company offering users a credit to their next billing cycle as a gesture of apology. This is actually the second men’s World Cup in a row to see a top streaming television provider face issues during a semifinal match.
