Allen Media Group vs Gray Media

YouTube TV Adds Allen Media Channels

YouTube TV has updated its official channel lineup to include multiple networks from Allen Media Group, including HBCU Go, Cars.TV, The Grio, and Comedy.TV. The channels appear in YouTube TV's directory but are not yet streaming live for subscribers, indicating a phased rollout expected soon. The listing follows YouTube TV’s recent content negotiations (including a deal to retain The Weather Channel) and comes as the service continues to expand its base package — already over 100 channels with unlimited DVR, multiview, and multi-user support — while offering new genre-focused subscription options. Activation of live feeds and on-demand libraries is anticipated after integration and rights checks are complete.

• Channels listed include HBCU Go, Cars.TV, The Grio, and Comedy.TV (appearances in the directory).

The Cavaliers join other teams like the Hornets, Magic, and Suns in offering free over-the-air viewing options.
