YouTube Another carriage fight has burst into the public eye: NBCUniversal on Sunday said it was notifying customers with YouTube TV that more than 14 of its networks, including local NBC channels, could go dark on the streaming service in a matter of days.
NBCU’s deal with YouTube TV is set to expire shortly, and Google is unwilling to pay the higher rates the media conglomerate is asking in the renewal talks, according to NBCU. A rep for NBCU declined to say when the existing YouTube TV distribution agreement ends.
