Aug 25 (Reuters) - YouTube said on Monday it is in talks

to renew a content partnership with Fox, but the media

company is asking for payments above those received by partners

providing comparable content.

"If we are unable to reach a new agreement by 5:00 PM ET on

August 27, Fox channels including Fox Sports, Business, and News

would become unavailable on YouTube TV," YouTube said in a blog

post.

YouTube, owned by Alphabet, also said it is in

active negotiations with Fox, looking to reach a deal that is

fair for both sides "without passing on additional costs to our

subscribers."

Should Fox's content become unavailable for an extended

period of time, YouTube will provide members with a $10 credit.

Separately, Fox said it is "disappointed that Google

continually exploits its outsized influence by proposing terms

that are out of step with the marketplace," adding that it is

alerting users that they could lose access to content "unless

Google engages in a meaningful way soon."

In February, YouTube TV reached a deal with media giant

Paramount Global to keep channels like CBS, Comedy Central and

Nickelodeon available, after failed negotiations for a new

contract had briefly left the future of the streaming

partnership in limbo.
