Live TV streaming service Fubo has announced that it's lowering the monthly price on two of its subscription plans amid an ongoing carriage dispute with NBCUniversal. Since Nov. 21, NBCU-owned networks have been missing from the streamer, including local NBC channels, Bravo, USA, CNBC and a host of regional sports networks. Each plan is being reduced by $11.
Fubo is now offering its Pro plan at $74 per month (typically $85) and Elite plan at $84 (usually $95) per month for new customers after the first month's discount is applied. Currently, new customers get $25 off Pro, or $30 off the first month of Elite subscription.
If you're an existing Fubo subscriber, you'll receive a $15 credit during your December billing cycle. Additionally, the reduced pricing will go into effect for current customers with their January billing date.
As negotiations continue between the two companies, there's no clear indication when the stalemate may end. In a statement on Nov. 25, Fubo accused NBCUniversal of wanting to add pricier channel packages and said it's discriminating against its customers.

"They allowed YouTube TV and Amazon Prime Video to integrate Peacock directly into their channel store, but refused to give Fubo the same rights," the statement said. "Fubo's goal is to make Peacock available directly in our channel store so subscribers can access all of their content in one place and seamlessly pay on one bill."
Meanwhile, viewers who are missing programming from the affected channels may choose to stick with Fubo and receive their discounts, or try out live TV subscriptions with a rival such as Sling or YouTube TV.
