YouTube TV bringing back Univision channels after two-month blackout – 9to5Google

After going dark in late September, Spanish-language channels from TelevisaUnivision are returning to YouTube TV under a new deal. Right around the same time as YouTube TV was in a public battle with NBC, the provider sent out an email to subscribers saying that Univision channels would be removed immediately due to negotiations failing. We’ve heard bits and pieces about the deal in the time since, but it’s been just about two months since the channels were lost. As of today, they’re back. YouTube TV and TelevisaUnivision have reached a new deal that will bring Univision, Unimás, TUDN, and Galavisión back to subscribers. The channels will be a part of both YouTube TV’s Base plan and the Spanish add-on package, with TelevisaUnivision’s streaming service, Vix, coming to YouTube Primetime Channels. As Deadline points out, YouTube Primetime Channels will also be expanding to Mexico for the first time. The same Deadline report mentions that “TelevisaUnivision will also team with YouTube on new initiatives aimed at showcasing its content to a broader audience on the main, free YouTube platform.” The channels aren’t live for subscribers just yet, but should be back soon.
