YouTube TV Subscribers Could Lose NBC Channels Without a Deal by Tomorrow
The dispute risks removing popular NBC shows and sports from YouTube TV, which has 8 million subscribers, if no agreement is reached by contract expiry.
- YouTube TV's contract with NBCUniversal ends today, which may lead to NBC channels being unavailable to subscribers starting tomorrow evening.
- The dispute arises from YouTube TV's push to lower carriage fees while NBCUniversal demands higher payments to cover costs including Peacock's rising prices.
- If unresolved, subscribers could lose access to major NBCUniversal channels like NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, USA Network, and Telemundo, affecting live sports and popular shows.
- YouTube TV will offer a $10 credit if NBCUniversal channels go dark, and Google says NBCUniversal's rates exceed those for Peacock subscribers, causing price and flexibility issues.
- The outcome will test YouTube TV's balance between cutting costs and delivering content, with possible disruptions for millions amid an increasingly crowded streaming market.
