YouTube TV launches in eastern Idaho
Published at
IDAHO FALLS — YouTube TV announced this week that it is expanding its live streaming service to cover the majority of the United States — including eastern Idaho.
The digital-based package includes 67 channels for $40 per month. It joins several other multiple cord-cutting competitors such as DirecTV Now and Sling TV.
Launched in April 2016 in just five markets, YouTube TV now is available in 98% of the country. And it plans to cover the rest in the coming months.
Here are the main points from YouTube TV’s announcement:
“YouTube TV offers cable-free live TV through a simple, best-in-class, and hassle-free experience. It includes:
▪ Over 60 networks, such as ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC. Plus, popular cable networks like TNT, TBS, CNN, ESPN, FX and on-demand programming.
▪ A cloud DVR with no storage space limits. This enables subscribers to record live TV and never run out of storage space. Also, you can record shows simultaneously without using data or space on your device.
▪ The ability to watch YouTube TV on any screen – mobile devices, tablets, computers and TVs.
▪ Six accounts per household. Every YouTube TV membership comes with six accounts, each with its own unique recommendations and a personal DVR with no storage space limits.
▪ Half the cost of cable with zero commitments. A YouTube TV membership is only $40 a month and there are no commitments – you can cancel anytime.”
