If you're a YouTube TV subscriber like me, then the threat of channels leaving the live TV streaming service is nothing new. TV providers like YouTube TV are constantly negotiating and renegotiating with networks how much to pay them to carry their channels. Sometimes, it leads to channels briefly — or permanently — going dark for customers, and NBCUniversal is now the latest company to threaten to pull its channels from YouTube TV.
Luckily for fans of NBC, Bravo and more, NBCU and YouTube TV have struck a last-minute deal to keep the network's channels on the air for YouTube TV subscribers. “We’ve reached a short-term extension to avoid disruption to our service while we work toward a new agreement with NBCUniversal,” a Google spokesperson told Variety. “We appreciate our subscribers’ patience while we negotiate on their behalf.”
