Overview
- YouTube TV removed Univision’s local stations from its live TV lineup on Wednesday after failing to reach a new carriage agreement with TelevisaUnivision.
- YouTube said TelevisaUnivision represents a small share of viewing on the service and confirmed the network’s content is no longer on YouTube TV, while Univision videos remain on YouTube’s main platform.
- TelevisaUnivision condemned the decision, saying it strips millions of Hispanic viewers of Spanish-language news, sports, and entertainment.
- The removal followed YouTube TV’s stated plan to move Univision from the base bundle to a $15-per-month Spanish-language add-on, a shift that was not executed before negotiations collapsed.
- Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton accused YouTube and Google of retaliating against Univision, pledged to protect consumers, and joined other Republicans who have requested information about the decision.
