Congressional Hispanic Caucus urges YouTube TV and Spanish-language broadcasters to reach a deal

Members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus on Friday sent a letter to the heads of Google, TelevisaUnivision and Telemundo urging all parties to reach distribution agreements to avoid risking a Spanish-language blackout on YouTube TV, according to a copy of the letter obtained by Axios.

Why it matters: YouTube TV is one of the largest pay-TV providers in the U.S., with more than 8 million customers.

If Telemundo parent NBCUniversal and YouTube TV fail to strike an agreement by Tuesday night, both of the country's largest Spanish-language broadcasters — Univision and Telemundo — could be made inaccessible to YouTube TV customers at the same time.
