NBC warns of YouTube TV blackout

NBCUniversal warned customers that its broadcast and cable channels — including NBC, Telemundo, Bravo, CNBC, MSNBC and USA Network — could be dropped from YouTube TV if the companies do not reach a new carriage agreement by Sept. 30, 2025. The dispute centers on pricing and terms, with YouTube TV saying NBCU is demanding rates higher than consumer Peacock pricing and pledging a $10 credit to subscribers if content is unavailable for an extended period.
