On Saturday, YouTube TV live streaming subscribers will lose access to Fox Regional Sports channels, which means they won’t be able to live stream Atlanta Hawks, Atlanta United and Atlanta Braves games.
YouTube sent a note to subscribers.
"Please know that we do not take this decision lightly," YouTube wrote. "We value your membership and will continue to strive to build the best streaming experience possible."
I'm awaiting a comment from Fox Sports.
UPDATE: A deal was struck to keep the channels on YouTube TV on March 5.

Mo Quick has departed hip-hop station Streetz 94.5 and its Morning Takeover show after three years.
Yung Joc remains.
Steve Hegwood, Streetz owner, said there were "philosophical differences" that led him to decide to go in a different direction. He is seeking a replacement for her.
The show has done very well for Hegwood, often finishing in the top 5 among 18 to 34 year olds.
Quick did not respond to a text seeking comment.
