YouTube TV users on Roku devices are encountering a peculiar glitch that delivers incorrect and outdated program guide information. The issue, which began surfacing in user reports over the past week, stems from an interaction between Roku’s new instant restart feature and YouTube TV’s data handling. This has resulted in subscribers being presented with television listings that are sometimes days old, leading to confusion and missed programming. The core of the problem lies in Roku’s instant restart functionality, designed to enhance user convenience by allowing apps to resume playback exactly where they left off, even after extended periods of inactivity. This feature works seamlessly for many applications, preserving the viewer’s position in a show or movie without the need to navigate back manually. However, when applied to YouTube TV, it appears to extend beyond just video content resumption. The app is inadvertently pulling in old guide data from previous sessions, displaying schedules that no longer reflect current broadcasts. For instance, a user who pauses a live sports event on Monday and returns to the app on Wednesday might find the guide still showing Monday’s lineup, complete with games that have already concluded and news segments from earlier in the week.

Since 2013, Billboard has been using YouTube streams as one of the factors that help decide the magazine's charts. In Wednesday YouTube announced that it would no longer provide data to Billboard because of the "outdated" way that the magazine gives greater weight to paid-subscriber streams than to ad-supported ones. As of Jan. 16, YouTube will stop delivering data to Billboard. In a blog post yesterday, the veteran music executive Lyor Cohen, currently global head of music for YouTube, wrote: Billboard uses an outdated formula that weights subscription-supported streams higher than ad-supported. This doesn't reflect how fans engage with music today and ignores the massive engagement from fans who don’t have a subscription. Streaming is the primary way people experience music, making up 84% of U.S. recorded music revenue. We’re simply asking that every stream is counted fairly and equally, whether it is subscription-based or ad-supported — because every fan matters and every play should count. A day before that announcement, Billboard announced a change in its chart tabulation, which leans more heavily toward streaming but which put even more weight on paid streams as opposed to ad-supported ones. (Billboard first began weighing paid streams more heavily in 2018.) It

For the first time ever, the Oscars will leave broadcast TV. Starting in 2029, the biggest non-sports cultural TV event of the year will be exclusively shown on YouTube. YouTube took a big step towards big-event live programming when it aired an NFL game in Week 1 of this season, a Chargers win over the Chiefs in Brazil that drew 18.5 million viewers, per YouTube and Nielsen’s custom measurement. That was just a bit smaller than the audience the 2025 Oscars drew on ABC, a number that was down 14 million viewers from a decade ago.(The Athletic’s Jourdan Rodrigue looked into YouTube’s NFL aspirations.) Meanwhile, YouTube is — by far — the most-watched platform in the U.S. Per Nielsen’s latest “Gauge” metrics, YouTube accounted for 12.9 percent of all TV and streaming consumption in November 2025. That’s: • More than half of all broadcast TV viewing combined • Nearly two-thirds of all cable TV viewing combined • 50 percent more than Netflix • More than the combination of NBC’s Peacock, Paramount+, Amazon Prime Video and Disney+ The Athletic’s Dan Shanoff and Andrew Marchand talked about the implications of the deal and what might come next for YouTube and sports.

Hollywood's biggest night is getting a modern makeover. On Wednesday, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced that the Academy Awards will livestream for free on YouTube starting in 2029, and will no longer air on broadcast television as of that year.  CNET previously reported these rumors in August, but now it's official. The new partnership includes a multiyear deal, which will grant YouTube exclusive rights to stream the Oscars from 2029 through 2033.  Since 1976, ABC has televised the Oscars, a partnership that will continue through 2028. During the Oscars last March, the Academy experimented by livestreaming the award show simultaneously on ABC and Hulu .  Don't miss any of our unbiased tech content and lab-based reviews.
