Now, that fight has escalated, as YouTube TV has moved forward with dropping one of the most-viewed Spanish-language television networks altogether.
At 7pm Pacific on Tuesday, with Univision, UniMás, TUDN and Galavisión, and other smaller cable networks, no longer available to YouTube TV consumers, TelevisaUnivision responded.
Interestingly, NBCUniversal was able to reach a new carriage agreement with YouTube TV.
While YouTube TV officially explained that carriage renewal decisions are based on viewer consumption and pricing, it also disputed that its actions were discriminatory and were purely based on business.
Speaking to online publication “Rolling Out,” YouTube TV claims TelevisaUnivision’s channels “represent only a tiny fraction” of overall consumption on YouTube TV’s paid subscription service.
