For years, YouTube TV offered a cable-like subscription service with a high price and tons of supported channels. There is no "cord," but the currently $82.99/month subscription with over 100 networks is certainly reminiscent of cable plans. Although YouTube TV is one of the most value-focused ways to get that many channels in a single streaming service, it faced many of the same problems as cable — people were paying for extra channels they didn't need.
That's finally changing now, as YouTube TV announced tailor-made plans that match certain interests with fewer, more focused channels. There's a Sports Plan, Sports and News Plan, Entertainment Plan, and the News, Entertainment, and Family Plan. The primary, all-inclusive YouTube TV plan is still on offer, but the four above alternatives will add some much-needed variety and customization to the platform.
