YouTube TV Dropping Channels September 30 as Three Networks Leave the Lineup

YouTube TV subscribers are facing another lineup change this month, with YouTube TV dropping channels September 30 as three networks are set to leave the live-TV streaming service. Tastemade, Court TV and The Young Turks will no longer be available on the platform beginning Sept. 30, 2026.

The change affects both live programming and recordings saved in subscribers’ YouTube TV libraries from those channels. Tastemade’s Spanish-language channel and its 4K offering will also be affected.

Which Channels Are Leaving YouTube TV?

Tastemade, Court TV and The Young Turks are scheduled to disappear from YouTube TV at the end of September.

Tastemade is known for food and lifestyle programming aimed at home cooks and food enthusiasts. Court TV focuses on courtroom coverage and true-crime programming, while The Young Turks offers current-events and political programming.

YouTube TV says subscribers will still be able to find select content from all three networks on YouTube after the channels leave the service.

What Subscribers Should Know

The removal means recordings already saved from the affected channels will also become unavailable after the networks leave YouTube TV. That could be particularly important for subscribers who use YouTube TV’s cloud DVR to keep programs for later viewing.

Viewers who want to continue watching the networks will need to use other services. Tastemade is available through several streaming platforms, while Court TV can be accessed through services including DIRECTV and Fubo as well as free streaming platforms. The Young Turks continues to offer content for free on YouTube.

For YouTube TV customers, the Sept. 30 change represents a notable reduction in the service’s channel lineup and comes with the added loss of previously recorded programming from the departing networks.
