I got this email on June 30.
Hi Babiscuit,
As we pass the 3-year mark for our service, we want to sincerely thank you for being part of our journey and share a few updates on the future of YouTube TV.
We built YouTube TV to bring you the best of live TV, delivered how you want it, without commitments. Since our launch, we’ve listened to your feedback and worked to build an experience that fits the needs of everyone in your household.
Today we are also adding more of ViacomCBS’s family of channels to YouTube TV, which includes 8 of your favorites: BET, CMT, Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon, Paramount Network, TV Land, and VH1.
To continue delivering the best content and service possible, we’re also updating our price for new and existing members to $64.99/month. Your base membership price will change on
08/03/2020. To check on the status of your account, go to your Settings > Membership page for updated information.
We don’t make these decisions lightly, and we realize how hard this may be for our members. This new price reflects the rising costs of content, and we also believe it reflects the complete value of YouTube TV. In addition to the 85+ live channels, YouTube TV is the only streaming service that includes a DVR with unlimited storage space (with content saved for 9 months), plus 6 accounts per household, each with its own unique recommendations, and 3 concurrent streams. It’s all included in the base cost of YouTube TV, with no contract and no hidden fees. You can see how we compare to other offerings in the industry
here.
We hope YouTube TV continues to be your service of choice, but we also understand that some members may want to cancel their service. All members have the flexibility to pause (your current library recordings will be kept) or
cancel anytime.
You can find more information in the YouTube TV
Help Center and our recent
blog post.
Thanks for being part of YouTube TV.
The YouTube TV Team
