I think Canada just has youtube premium which only removes ads and lets you play in the background on mobile devices for $11.99 a month. This and YouTube TV seem like complete ripoffs. I'll just sit through ads or reduce my youtube consumption. These subscriptions keep adding up and up. Choose wisely my friends.
I can’t believe someone would pay 50 for it. Oh wait. It is 65 now.
This is sad news for BOTH of the people who are paying for YouTube TV.
Government: lets see how we can give out more money to ppl
Google exec: lets see how we can get more money out of ppl

May I ask what they would pay? I feel like maybe you missed that the number provided is the sum of @AZMecha 's TV, 150mbs Internet, HBO, Showtime, STARS, Netflix, and Disney+.
Love the service but WTF? Netflix is a steal at $16.99 then.
Exactly. I recently quit cable and started using YTTV and now I may go back.
Besides unlimited DVR there Isn’t much. I tested out with a friend for the last two month. I gotta tell you, I don’t recalled seeing so much ads in my life. I’m paid him through July but I’m cancelling after. At $65, for channels I barely watch and all that ads? Whoever is running the program at Google doesn’t know what they are doing.
Nobody in the US would settle for an European paycheck either. Median household income in the US is nearly 2x that of the EU. Things necessarily cost more.
There isn't a single thing I watch on broadcast TV now.
Try it, it's great!
Also, no more news. I've lowered my stress level by 100%

^^This...being a streaming service, they should offer lesser packs like choose 15 channels of your choice for $20/mo or something. I watch about 10 different channels at most.
Ugh that’s a 30% price increase. Put these extra channels in higher tiers and let people. Goose if they want them.
I got 5 Apple TV's out of that... still using them.
I cannot imagine anyone spending money on youtube.
But I'm sure someone will.

I remember the battle cry how streaming unbundled services would be cheaper. So far they're more expensive than cable.
It’s cable tv, but in addition to paying for a bundle of channels you also pay for the bandwidth it uses.
I was going to cancel until I saw they’re adding all the Viacom channels. Now it’s as expensive as AT&T TV, but comparable lineup. YouTube and YouTube TV do work very well on my Sony Android TV.
I still think PS VUE was by far the best cable replacement service, was disappointed that was shutdown.

Most Europeans don't realize that basic TV in America is still free and advertiser supported with an antenna.
The current method, ATSC 1.0 is not particularly good for most people indoors but that is about to change.
The number of Cable TV cord cutters is also growing. Next Generation TV / ATSC 3.0 is launching with even more free channels in the coming year, some of which will be free on your cell phone too. Apple doesn't seem very interested so far, but I'll bet one of the cell phone manufacturers jumps in very soon to offer free live TV with no cell phone or internet charges.
America will also finally get live broadcast of sports in 4K for free (except for the initial cost of the tuner/TV).
YouTube TV has 2.3 million subscribers.
