YouTube TV is not immune from this.

Networks negotiate with every provider that wants to carry them. Usually, things go well and the customer doesn't notice or the negotiations lead to higher prices and the customer's bill goes up.

Sometimes, the negotiations don't go well. More than once my provider (cable or satellite) has warned me that the network was threatening to stop service and suggested I call the network to complain. Occasionally (though it seems more often now) negotiations fail and the network is no longer available. My father has been without some local networks on Dishnet for a while now.

This can happen to any provider, cable, satellite, or streaming.
