YouTube TV could lose a bunch of channels this week if its parent company, Google, fails to hammer out a last-minute deal with NBCUniversal to carry its programming. Discussions have stalled over pricing, with the two companies unable to agree on a fair rate for the entertainment giant’s content. If the matter isn’t resolved by Thursday, September 30, YouTube TV subscribers will lose access to NBC, Bravo, CNBC, E!, Golf Channel, MSNBC, Oxygen, SYFY, Telemundo, The Olympic Channel, Universal Kids, Universo, and USA Network. A raft of NBC Sports regional networks will also vanish from the service. That’s a lot of programming for those signed up to YouTube TV, and so if it happens, Google said it will lop $10 off the annual subscription cost, bringing it down to $54.99 starting October 1. But hopefully it won’t come to that.
