Sept 9 (Reuters) - YouTube said on Tuesday it is in
talks with TelevisaUnivision to continue providing access to the
Mexican-American media company's content on YouTube TV.
TelevisaUnivision is a joint venture between Grupo Televisa
, Mexico's largest broadcaster, and U.S.
Spanish-language broadcaster Univision.
"We have been working with TelevisaUnivision to reach an
agreement that allows us to continue carrying their content on
YouTube TV," Alphabet-owned YouTube said on X.
According to a report from Axios on Tuesday,
TelevisaUnivision has launched a new consumer ad campaign
warning customers that YouTube parent Google plans to remove
Univision from YouTube's core offering and move it to a
Spanish-language package at an extra cost.
YouTube TV plans to remove Univision from its $83 basic
bundle package on September 30 and instead will force Hispanic
viewers to pay another $15 a month to access the network through
a separate, additional Spanish-language content bundle, Axios
reported.
YouTube and Fox reached an agreement late last
month to keep Fox News, Fox Sports and other Fox channels
available to YouTube TV subscribers.
