YouTube TV 与 NBCUniversal 延长转播协议,谈判持续进行中

摘要

YouTube TV 与 NBCUniversal 达成短期延长协议,以防止节目中断,同时双方继续就新转播协议进行谈判。

YouTube TV 与 NBCUniversal 达成短期延长协议,确保 NBCUniversal 的频道继续向 YouTube TV 订阅用户提供服务,同时双方继续就新转播协议进行谈判。现有合同原定于周二东部时间午夜到期。

YouTube TV 发言人表示:“我们已达成短期延长协议,以避免服务中断,同时努力与 NBCUniversal 达成新协议。感谢订阅用户在我们代表他们进行谈判期间的耐心等待。”

此事发生在 TelevisaUnivision 网络因协议到期而在 YouTube TV 上被停播之后。此外,YouTube TV 还在与迪士尼和 ESPN 讨论续约事宜,该协议将在未来几周内到期。

随着有线电视行业面临用户割线和流媒体服务兴起的挑战,转播纠纷日益增多。YouTube TV 目前是美国第四大运营商,拥有超过1000万订阅用户,在增长的同时,传统服务提供商如 Charter、Comcast 和 DirecTV 则出现用户下滑。与传统有线或卫星服务商不同,YouTube TV 隶属于市值达3万亿美元的科技巨头谷歌,这也影响了其谈判格局。

NBCUniversal 曾通过屏幕提示和社交媒体提醒观众可能出现的停播情况,告知即将到来的截止日期。在此之前,YouTube TV 曾几乎停播 Paramount 和 Fox 频道,最终在公开争议后与两家公司达成协议。
