Overview

• The companies agreed late Sept. 30 to a temporary extension that keeps NBCU channels on YouTube TV, and neither side disclosed when it expires.
• If no long-term deal is reached, NBCU programming at risk on YouTube TV includes Sunday Night Football, Big Ten football, Saturday Night Live’s Oct. 4 premiere, The Voice, NBA games starting Oct. 21, WWE, and the Premier League.
• NBCUniversal said Google refused market rates and terms, while Google said NBCU is asking it to pay more than consumers pay for the same content on Peacock.
• Weekend sports on NBC will remain available to YouTube TV subscribers during the extension, including a full college football slate and the Patriots–Bills Sunday Night Football game.
• YouTube TV’s broader carriage battles continue, with TelevisaUnivision and Monumental Sports Network currently dark on the platform and a $6 credit offered if Univision channels stay unavailable for an extended period.
