YouTube TV’s previous contract for NBC channels was scheduled to expire at midnight Eastern Time, but the two companies agreed to a “short extension.”
Just under an hour before the deadline, a spokesperson for NBCUniversal made the following statement to 9to5Google:
NBCUniversal and YouTube TV have agreed to a short extension while the parties continue talks. NBCUniversal won’t shut down on YouTube TV at midnight EST tonight.
There is an ongoing baseball game between the San Francisco Giants and the Arizona Diamondbacks that is expected to be affected (NBC Sports Bay Area) by the breach of contract. Without this extension – which is typical in wire disputes, this channel along with nearly 20 others, including your local NBC station, would have disappeared.
It’s unclear how long the NBC YouTube TV extension will last, and if it will continue over the weekend. There are a number of games to come, and the Season 47 premiere of Saturday Night Live (Owen Wilson greets with musical guest Kacey Musgraves).
