YouTube TV sharply increases monthly subscription to $64.99

The Verge:

…the company starts to offer eight of ViacomCBS’s channels, which are available today: BET, CMT, Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon, Paramount Network, TV Land, and VH1.

And:

For comparison, Hulu’s Live TV plan costs $54.99 (a price that includes access to Hulu’s library of content, but lacks the unlimited DVR storage that YouTube TV offers), AT&T TV starts at $55 per month (with hefty increases after 12 months), and Sling TV’s full plan costs $45 per month. While there may be some concerns that YouTube TV is edging closer to the cost of actual cable, there are some advantages to Google’s over-the-top service, including easy access from nearly any device with an internet connection, a lower barrier to entry when it comes to additional hardware, and a much better UI than nearly any cable set-top box.

The cord cutter marketplace is still in flux, and likely will be for some time. Hard to see a clear winner in these piecemeal bundles. Seems like a disruption (to cable bundles) is coming, but still way over the horizon. I think things would move way faster if internet access and content delivery were two separate and untethered businesses.
