YouTube, angling to be 'real' TV, will launch live networks




YouTube is going live.
Google's massive video site will launch live TV networks with a virtual cable service in the next few months, competing with cable, satellite and online pay-TV providers like Dish's Sling TV, Sony's PlayStation Vue and AT&T's DirecTV Now.
"The younger generation wants to consume TV in the way that they're used to consuming video online," YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki said. The company unveiled the service at an event Tuesday in Los Angeles that was live-streamed to reporters at YouTube Spaces in New York, San Francisco and San Bruno, California.
The service, called YouTube TV and priced at $35 a month, will offer all the broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC), sports channels like ESPN, cable networks like FX and USA, 24-hour news like Fox News, kids programming like Sprout and local TV networks, among other channels.
YouTube TV will include shows and movies the company has made for its other subscription service, Red.
It will have an unlimited cloud DVR to record shows and watch them later, and the service will roll out progressively in the US, starting with large metropolitan areas. A single subscription unlocks six accounts for a household. It said it didn't have any plans to roll out YouTube TV internationally at this time.

When told by staffers that this information wasn’t relevant to granting TPS and that the existing data “wasn’t good,” she continued to press ahead. She explained that the Homeland Security Secretary “is going to need this to make a final decision” that spring on whether to extend TPS for Haitians. They were granted the right to stay in the U.S. after a devastating 2010 earthquake.
