Paramount is notifying YouTube TV subscribers that channels including CBS, BET, Comedy Central, MTV and Nickelodeon could go dark on the service.

Several channels owned by Paramount Global, including CBS, Comedy Central and MTV, will soon disappear from YouTube TV on Thursday if the two companies don’t reach a contract renewal.

Paramount-owned channels are at the center of the tug-of-war, and YouTube TV customers could see offerings like Comedy Central and MTV disappear.
