(Reuters) -YouTube and Fox said on Wednesday they have reached a short-term agreement that will keep Fox News, Fox Sports and other Fox channels available to YouTube TV subscribers.

The extension allows time for both parties to strike a new distribution deal.

The existing agreement lapsed at 5 p.m. EDT (2100 GMT) on Wednesday.
