Get ready to pay more for YouTube TV.
Google is raising the monthly subscription from $50 per month to $64.99, which is similar to a cable-like bundle.
From Variety.com:
The price increase comes as YouTube TV launches eight ViacomCBS channels today: BET, CMT, Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon, Paramount Network, TV Land and VH1. In addition, BET Her, MTV2, MTV Classic, Nick Jr., NickToons, and TeenNick are also set to come to YouTube TV at a later date.
“We don’t take these decisions lightly, and realize how hard this is for our members. That said, this new price reflects the rising cost of content and we also believe it reflects the complete value of YouTube TV, from our breadth of content to the features that are changing how we watch live TV,” Christian Oestlien, VP of product management for YouTube TV, said in a blog post announcing the price hike.
YouTube TV now provides more than 85 channels, including local TV stations in nearly all U.S. markets. It provides a DVR with unlimited storage space, plus six accounts per household and up to three concurrent streams.
The price increase takes effect today with new subscribers. Existing customers will see the increase on their next bill cycle
