NBCUniversal and Google struck a long-term distribution agreement that averts an NBCU blackout on YouTube TV. “Our new agreement with Google is a clear win for both our business and our viewers,” said Matt Schnaars, President of Platform Distribution & Partnerships at NBCUniversal. “We’ve secured long-term access to our full portfolio of broadcast and cable networks on YouTube TV, and we’re advancing our Peacock strategy with an upcoming launch on YouTube Primetime Channels and ongoing presence on Google TV.” The agreement includes the launch of NBC Sports Network later this fall, which will offer YouTube TV subscribers a range of sports programming that complements properties available on NBC. The companies had agreed on Tuesday to a short-term extension of their previous deal, which expired September 30.

Ted Cruz of Texas, one of the Republicans who criticized Carr’s actions. FCC commissioners Anna M. Gomez and Olivia Trusty are also expected to appear.
