Do you still have cable TV? Good news you didn’t lose Fox News, FS1, FS2, and more as many small cable TV companies reach a deal with Fox to avoid a December 31st, 2019 blackout deadline.

We don’t have many details but it looks like a short term deal was reach to keep Fox-owned networks live on many small cable TV companies according to The Morning Call. According to some providers, Fox is asking for a 10x jump in what they are paying right now for Fox News, FS1, FS2, and Fox Business networks.

Why are so many small cable TV companies losing these networks all at the same time? Many small cable TV providers collectively bargain for the network’s rights together. Together they represent millions of Americans, but alone some of these smaller networks only represent a few thousand subscribers.

The good news is if you lose Fox News FS1, and more after this short term extension, you have options. You can always switch to a streaming service that offers these networks. Not sure which service provides what you want? Here is a quick break down of some of the live TV streaming services currently on the market today.
