YouTube TV keeps NBC with a last-minute extension but loses Univision
YouTube TV has reached a short-term extension agreement with NBCUniversal, allowing it to continue offering NBC programs while they negotiate a new long-term deal. However, the service was unable to reach a similar agreement with Univision, the largest Spanish-language broadcaster in the US. Univision accused YouTube TV of removing its programs from the standard package and charging an extra $15 for access, calling it the "Hispanic tax" and questioning Google's ethics. The broadcaster criticized YouTube TV's actions as "tone-deaf and egregious" during Hispanic Heritage Month. Despite Univision's vast audience and engagement on YouTube, it only represents a small fraction of overall consumption on YouTube TV's subscription service, leading to the breakdown in negotiations.
