"YouTube TV has refused the best rates and terms in the market, demanding preferential treatment and seeking an unfair advantage over competitors to dominate the video marketplace- all under the false pretense of fighting for the consumer."
"The result: YouTube TV customers will lose access to NBCUniversal's premium programming, including Sunday Night Football, NBA, Big Ten Football, WWE, Premier League, Saturday Night Live, The Voice, The Real Housewives, and much more."
"NBCUniversal is asking us to pay more than what they charge consumers for the same content on Peacock, which would mean less flexibility and higher prices for our subscribers."
NBCUniversal channels across broadcast and cable — including NBC, Telemundo, Bravo, CNBC, MSNBC, USA Network and others — face possible removal from YouTube TV due to a carriage dispute. NBCUniversal accuses YouTube TV of seeking preferential treatment and of leveraging market power, warning that subscribers could lose marquee programming such as Sunday Night Football, NBA games, Big Ten Football, WWE, the Premier League, Saturday Night Live, The Voice and Real Housewives. YouTube TV says NBCUniversal’s price demands exceed Peacock consumer pricing, would reduce flexibility and raise subscriber costs, and offers a $10 credit if outages persist. Similar recent disputes involved Fox and TelevisaUnivision.
