NBC is not available on DirecTV due to a carriage dispute between NBCUniversal (which owns NBC) and DirecTV’s parent company, AT&T. Carriage disputes happen when a broadcaster (like NBC) and a cable or satellite provider (like DirecTV) cannot agree on terms for how much the provider should pay to carry the broadcaster’s channels.
These disputes can involve negotiations over pricing, distribution rights, and other business terms. As a result, if the two parties can’t reach an agreement, the channel might be temporarily removed from the service.
If NBC is not available on your DirecTV package, it could also be due to other regional or contractual issues. You can typically find updates on such disputes by checking the official websites or customer service pages of both NBC and DirecTV.
