Fubo TV Loses All NBC Channels Amid Price Dispute & Fans Are Livid
NBCUniversal demands higher fees and restricts Peacock integration, prompting Fubo to credit subscribers $15 if blackout persists, affecting millions of users nationwide.
At 5pm ET earlier this month, NBCUniversal networks went dark on Fubo, removing NBC, CNBC, MSNBC, Bravo, USA Network, and regional sports channels.
Negotiators clashed over Peacock integration and wholesale pricing as Fubo says NBCUniversal demanded higher per-subscriber fees and blocked Peacock Premium access.
Fubo says it will issue a one-time $14.99 credit and expanded replacement channels after NBCUniversal pulled channels, explaining breakdowns via email.
With college football on Saturday and the NFL on Sunday, millions of Fubo subscribers lose access to NBC channels, increasing viewer disruption during peak sports viewing.
The standoff reflects a wider wave of carriage battles as media conglomerates and streaming-first distributors clash; Fubo says two-tier pricing would force it to raise rates or operate at a loss.
