Overview

• The current distribution deal expires Sept. 30, and NBCUniversal has begun notifying YouTube TV customers that its networks could be pulled, putting Sunday Night Football and other marquee programming at risk.
• NBCUniversal accuses YouTube TV of refusing market‑standard terms and demanding preferential treatment that it says would give the distributor an unfair advantage.
• YouTube TV counters that NBCUniversal is seeking more than the consumer price for the same content on Peacock and says it is working toward a fair agreement.
• A core sticking point is YouTube TV’s proposal to integrate Peacock‑only content into its interface, with the two sides far apart on compensation for that access.
• A separate TelevisaUnivision agreement also expires Sept. 30, raising the prospect that both Univision and NBCU‑owned Telemundo could go dark for roughly 10 million subscribers.
