Meanwhile, YouTube TV is raising its rates for new customers. On March 13, the monthly price will be $40 per month for new members. Current members (or those who sign up before then) will continue paying the original price of $35 per month.
A YouTube spokeswoman said the company currently has no plans to increase the $35 monthly price for existing members. But, she added, “We’ll continue hearing feedback from users and partners to continue improving YouTube TV and offering the best package.”
Google hasn’t disclosed the number of subscribers that have signed up for YouTube TV since it launched in April 2016, initially in just five markets. It’s now available in the top 100 U.S. markets, with YouTube TV expanding to more than a dozen additional markets. That gives it coverage of the top 100 U.S. markets, reaching over 85% of U.S. households.
The new markets where YouTube TV is now available are: Honolulu; Lexington, Ky.; Dayton, Ohio; El Paso, Texas; Burlington, Vt.; Plattsburgh, N.Y.; Richmond, Va.; Petersburg, Va.; Mobile, Ala.; Syracuse, N.Y.; Champaign, Ill.; Springfield, Ill.; Columbia, S.C.; Charleston, S.C.; Harlingen, Texas; Wichita, Kan.; Wilkes-Barre, Pa.; and Scranton, Pa.
With the addition of Turner, YouTube TV now offers more than 50 networks in the base package, including local ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC stations, plus cable networks like ESPN, AMC, and FX, and local sports networks from NBC Sports, Fox Sports, and NESN in select markets.
