Fubo Drops NBCUniversal Channels After Carriage Talks Collapse

Overview

• The blackout began at 5 p.m. ET on Nov. 21, removing NBC affiliates and other NBCUniversal networks from Fubo.
• Fubo says NBCUniversal demanded rates well above those given to similar distributors and blocked Peacock from Fubo’s Channel Store.
• The company plans a $15 bill credit for customers if NBCU programming stays off the service for an extended period.
• The loss hits a busy sports stretch that includes Sunday Night Football, the Thanksgiving night NFL game, Premier League matches, Big Ten football and Notre Dame games.
• YouTube TV retains NBCU under a new long-term deal and Hulu + Live TV still carries the networks, even as Fubo now shares Disney ownership with Hulu + Live TV.
