NBCUniversal Could Be Headed for YouTube TV Blackout

NBCUniversal Could Be Headed for YouTube TV Blackout
SHARE

YouTube TV is currently facing a series of challenges with major content providers regarding carriage agreements. Following recent disputes with both Fox Corp. and TelevisaUnivision, the spotlight now shifts to NBCUniversal, which has begun notifying YouTube TV subscribers about possible content removal due to ongoing negotiations for a new distribution deal.

Late Thursday, NBCU initiated communication with YouTube TV subscribers, indicating that it may withdraw its networks from the service. This comes as discussions for a new contract have not led to an agreement. The previous deal, which was last negotiated in 2021, is set to expire on Tuesday, September 30—this coincides with the end of a similar agreement between YouTube TV and TelevisaUnivision.

Historically, these conflicts were mostly between traditional media companies and distribution platforms like cable and satellite providers. However, as we head into 2025, YouTube TV has emerged as a disruptive force, enjoying the advantages of internet streaming that traditional cable providers struggle with amidst dwindling subscriber numbers.

With 9.4 million subscribers as of April, YouTube TV’s user-friendly streaming service has seen significant growth. The ease of use—eliminating the need for physical installations—and recent acquisition of the NFL Sunday Ticket rights in 2023 have catalyzed this growth. NBCUniversal manages a range of channels including NBC, Telemundo, MSNBC, and Bravo, and is preparing to spin off a large portion of its cable assets into a new company named Versant by the end of 2025.

During negotiations with NBC, YouTube TV, a service under Google parent company Alphabet, has proposed terms perceived by NBCU as significantly more favorable than those offered to other service providers, according to insiders.

This situation is particularly critical for YouTube TV because it may soon lose access to both of the major Spanish-language broadcasters, with NBCU owning Telemundo. Meanwhile, TelevisaUnivision has ramped up advertising campaigns to inform users that YouTube TV plans to demote the Univision network from its essential tier, potentially converting it into a premium add-on service. YouTube TV has raised concerns that Univision’s performance does not justify their proposed terms and has indicated that continued partnership hinges on reaching a mutually beneficial agreement.

In a related dispute, YouTube TV confronted Fox Corp. in August, where Fox warned its viewers of the potential blackout of channels including the Fox broadcast network and Fox Sports 1. Fortunately, both parties reached an agreement just in time.

These types of disputes are nothing new in the pay-TV landscape, and they often attract public attention. The rise of streaming services, drawing in billions in investments from media companies, exacerbates tensions with traditional cable and satellite platforms as more consumers opt for flexibility in their viewing habits. Recent resolutions have included cable providers integrating certain new streaming services into their offerings to mitigate conflicts.
