Meanwhile, NBCUniversal and YouTube TV recently reached a long-term distribution agreement, ending the threat of a blackout for NBCU networks in over 10 million pay-TV homes.

Univision warned viewers that their networks might be moved to a Spanish-only add-on package, potentially limiting reach and increasing costs for Latino households.

YouTube TV removed Univision nearly a week ago amid disagreements over a new carriage deal, citing 'unrealistic demands' from Univision and noting that Univision's viewership on their platform is minimal compared to its overall subscriber base.

YouTube TV stated that Univision's content accounts for a small fraction of overall consumption and emphasized their willingness to negotiate while considering recent performance metrics.

TelevisaUnivision criticized YouTube TV's actions as tone-deaf and offensive, especially during Hispanic Heritage Month, accusing the platform of disregarding appeals from government and Hispanic organizations.

The dispute has gained political traction, with lawmakers and Univision framing it as a matter of fairness and influence, and Univision aligning with Trump, who views the network as a strategic asset for Republican efforts in Hispanic communities.

Trump's call to action follows his strong performance among Latino voters in 2024, where he increased his support to 48%, highlighting the importance of Hispanic media in his electoral strategy.

Univision, as the largest Spanish-language broadcaster in the U.S. with 59 stations, remains a key player in reaching Hispanic voters, and Trump emphasized its popularity and recent electoral support.

This controversy comes shortly after a recent settlement between YouTube and Trump, where YouTube paid $22 million to the Trust for the National Mall following his suspension from social media platforms.

President Donald Trump publicly called on Google to restore Univision's channels on YouTube TV after they were removed due to a carriage dispute, emphasizing the network's significance for Republican midterm campaigns and its role as the voice of Hispanic America.

Trump claimed that Univision's absence is 'very bad for Republicans' in the upcoming midterms and praised their highest-rated political special, which contributed to his record support among Hispanic voters in recent elections.

Univision CEO Daniel Alegre responded positively to Trump's support, reaffirming their commitment to returning to YouTube TV and highlighting the network's importance for Hispanic communities.
