YouTube TV is a subscription-based streaming service from Google that provides access to live TV channels and on-demand content. Launched in 2017, it offers a wide selection of over 100 television networks and 30+ OTT-originated services. Subscribers can stream content on various devices and utilize a cloud DVR for recording programs. The service functions as a virtual multichannel video programming distributor, providing an alternative to traditional cable or satellite television.
YouTube TV introduced flexible streaming tiers while discontinuing its cheaper plan, now priced at $54.99. Customers received notifications about the changes, impacting their streaming options and costs.
In September 2021, YouTube TV and NBCUniversal were in a contract renewal dispute. NBCUniversal threatened to remove its channels if an agreement wasn't reached by the end of September 2021.
