YouTube TV Subscribers Could Lose NBC Channels Without a Deal by Tomorrow

YouTube TV's contract with NBCUniversal ends today, which may lead to NBC channels being unavailable to subscribers starting tomorrow evening.
The dispute arises from YouTube TV's push to lower carriage fees while NBCUniversal demands higher payments to cover costs including Peacock's rising prices.
If unresolved, subscribers could lose access to major NBCUniversal channels like NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, USA Network, and Telemundo, affecting live sports and popular shows.
YouTube TV will offer a $10 credit if NBCUniversal channels go dark, and Google says NBCUniversal's rates exceed those for Peacock subscribers, causing price and flexibility issues.
The outcome will test YouTube TV's balance between cutting costs and delivering content, with possible disruptions for millions amid an increasingly crowded streaming market.
