"Zoom in: The new deal, which gives YouTube the exclusive global rights to the Oscars with the 101st Oscars ceremony in 2029 through 2033, will see the show leaving ABC for the first time in more than 50 years. The ceremony will be available live and for free globally on YouTube's free app, and in the U.S. to YouTube TV."
"Catch up quick: The Oscars were first broadcast in 1953 on NBC. It moved over to ABC from 1961 to 1970 before returning to NBC for a brief stint between 1971 and 1975. ABC has been broadcasting the award show since 1976. It will end its exclusive run broadcasting the event with the 100th Oscars ceremony in 2028.

YouTube obtained exclusive global rights to broadcast the Oscars from the 101st ceremony in 2029 through 2033, ending ABC's more than five-decade run after the 100th ceremony in 2028. The ceremony will stream live and free worldwide on YouTube's free app and in the U.S. on YouTube TV. The deal includes a red carpet pre-show, behind-the-scenes content, the Oscars nomination announcement, the Governor's Awards, the nominees luncheon and other Academy Awards-related programming. The move follows broader streaming investment in live rights and reflects a trend of award shows shifting to streaming amid declining traditional TV audiences.
