Fubo lashed out at NBCUniversal in a statement about the carriage dispute that caused NBCU networks to go dark on Fubo on November 21. One sticking point, says Fubo, is Versant, the new company spinning off from NBCU on January 1. “Despite them not being worth the cost to Fubo subscribers, Fubo offered to distribute Versant channels for one year,” reads the statement. “NBCU wants Fubo to sign a multi-year deal – well past the time the Versant channels will be owned by a separate company. NBCU wants Fubo subscribers to subsidize these channels.” Another issue: “NBCU wants Fubo to add expensive, non-sports channels, which will drive up the price paid by Fubo subscribers,” said Fubo, adding that it hopes NBC will reconsider their stance, or “we’ll be forced to move on without them.”
