(Reuters) -Alphabet's YouTube TV and Comcast-owned NBCUniversal on Wednesday agreed to a short-term contract extension, averting a blackout and ensuring YouTube TV subscribers retain access to NBCUniversal programming while negotiations continue.
Popular NBC shows including "Sunday Night Football" and "America's Got Talent" were at risk of being unavailable on YouTube TV after midnight on Tuesday if the two sides failed to reach an agreement, a standoff that could influence the future of television.
