Overview
- Fubo lost NBCUniversal’s full portfolio at 5 p.m. ET on Nov. 21, removing NBC stations, Telemundo, USA Network, Bravo, CNBC, MSNBC, Golf Channel, and multiple regional sports networks.
- Fubo says NBCU demanded higher rates and blocked integration of Peacock into Fubo’s channel store, claims NBCU disputes.
- NBCUniversal says Fubo chose to drop its programming despite being offered fair terms accepted by hundreds of distributors, including Hulu + Live TV.
- Fubo pledges a $15 credit on the next bill if the outage persists, and existing cloud DVR recordings of NBCU content will remain until they expire or are deleted.
- The blackout hits during a busy sports period for viewers; YouTube TV continues to carry NBCU under an October agreement, and no return date has been announced.
