Overview

• YouTube TV removed Univision and other TelevisaUnivision channels on Sept. 30 after the companies failed to reach a new carriage deal.
• Trump posted on Truth Social that keeping Univision off the bundle is “VERY BAD for Republicans” and asked Google to return the network “for the purpose of FAIRNESS.”
• TelevisaUnivision condemned the blackout, launched a “Do the Right Thing Google” campaign, and argued the decision limits Spanish‑language access during key news cycles.
• Republican officials including Sen. Ted Cruz and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton criticized Google and signaled potential legal or regulatory action.
• YouTube said TelevisaUnivision accounts for a small share of YouTube TV viewing and noted Univision content remains on free YouTube, as talks reportedly stalled over shifting the channel to a Spanish‑language add‑on.
