President Donald Trump has weighed in on YouTube TV’s ongoing carriage dispute with TelevisaUnivision, calling the programming blackout “very bad” for Republicans.
“I hope Univision, a great and very popular Hispanic network can get BACK onto the very amazing Google/YouTube. It has been taken out of their package which is VERY BAD for Republicans in the upcoming midterms,” he wrote in a Truth Social post over the weekend. “They were so good to me with their highest rated ever political special and I set a Republican record for Hispanic voting. Google, for the purposes of FAIRNESS, please let Univision BACK!”
A TelevisaUnivision spokesperson directed TheWrap to an X post from CEO Daniel Alegre, in which he thanked Trump for “recognizing the impact of Univision and the importance of Hispanics.”
“We take pride in Univision representing the voice of Hispanic America. It is our priority to bring Univision back to YouTubeTV,” Alegre added.
Representatives for Google/YouTube did not immediately return TheWrap’s request for comment on Trump’s post.
