Google and NBCUniversal have signed a new contract and YouTube TV will retain all NBC channels with no change to the monthly subscription price.
Your local NBC station, nearly 20 other channels, and regional sports networks were at risk of leaving YouTube TV.
Google’s previous deal with NBCU expired on September 30, 2021, but a brief extension was made. The dispute spilled into the public realm on Sunday when NBC started advertising how YouTube TV customers could soon lose access on air with banners. There was also a website as part of the pressure campaign against YouTube’s cord-cutting service
Google responded by saying that it hasn’t “been able to reach an equitable agreement” and that “YouTube TV seeks the same rates that services of a similar size get from NBCU so we can continue offering YouTube TV to members at a competitive and fair price.”
It has since emerged that NBC previously wanted Google to bundle Peacock Premium into monthly customer payments. This would have led to subscribers paying more, with Google in August committing to no price hikes in the “near term.”
