August 05, 2025
Update (02/14/18):Googlehas now confirmedwhat was previously leaked earlier this week about its updates to YouTube TV. It has added a number of new cable TV channels to its base package from Turner Networks, along with launching YouTube TV access in many new markets in the U.S. It also confirmed that the base package price will go up from $35 to $40 a month starting on March 13 for new customers.
Original article (02/13/18):If you’re thinking about subscribing toYouTube TV, Google’s TV solution forcord cuttersthat competes withSling TV, you should get on that ASAP:subscription prices will go upever so slightly next month.
The reason behind the price hike is added value. Tomorrow, February 14, YouTube TV will have several notable new channel offerings, including CNN, HLN, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, TBS, TNT, truTV, and Turner Classic Movies.
If you notice a trend there, you probably spend way too much time watching TV. But yes, all those channels are part of the Turner network, whichmost likely meansGoogle recently closed a deal with the media conglomerate.
But that’s not all that’s coming to YouTube TV. Sports fans will rejoice to hear that nationally televised NBA games and the NBA TV channel are coming as well. The MLB Network and MLB Postseason games are slated to land on YouTube TV, too, along with UEFA soccer and the PGA Championship.
And, for a little extra cash on top of the monthly subscription plan, you can add on an NBA League Pass and the MLB.TV channel.
Ah, but the major caveat for YouTube TV has always beenits limited availability. Luckily, the service is expanding to 18 new USA markets: Lexington, Dayton, Honolulu, El Paso, Burlington, Plattsburgh, Richmond, Petersburg, Mobile, Syracuse, Champaign, Springfield, Columbia, Charleston, Harlingen, Wichita, Wilkes-Barre, and Scranton.
