NBCUniversal warned YoutubeTV subscribers that it could face possible blackout as of 9/30 if they dont come to terms on a new agreement.
In negotiations so far, YoutubeTV proposed that programming offered exclusively on Peacock be integrated into the main user Youtube TV interface as opposing users to exit and pull up Peacock. Youtube have offered to compensate NBCU for the integration, but not at an acceptable level to NBCU.
A Youtube spokeperson noted that "NBCUniversal asking us to pay more than what they charge consumers for the same content on Peacock, which would mean less flexibility and higher prices for our subscribers. We are committed to working with NBCUniversal to reach a fair deal for both sides ahead of our current agreement expiring on September 30. If their content is unavailable for an extended period of time, we’ll offer our subscribers a $10 credit."
