Youtube TV Takes on Big Cable - Can it be successful?

2017-03-02
well YouTube is trying to take on big table big time google has announced that it plans to launch YouTube TV in the u.s. an internet-based television service that will offer access to local broadcast networks like ABC CBS NBC Fox and CW along with a bunch of cable networks for 35 bucks a month the service will first launched later this year in the largest TV markets in the US and will expand to more metro areas in the future pretty exciting for us cord cutters right yeah but it doesn't include HBO's Game of Thrones I checked in addition to the broadcast networks YouTube TV will also offer access to over 40 cable channels like USA FX sci-fi ESPN Fox Sports 1 and even Fox News and MSNBC the service will also offer access to YouTube's original shows which are available for subscribers in its YouTube read service YouTube TV will also offer access to the short time and fox soccer plus premium channels for an additional fee now that's all very exciting but let's get real for a moment Google is entering a very crowded market let me read the list there's already sling TV PlayStation View DirecTV now and Hulu it plans to launch a similar service very soon that's going to be tough Google plans to release a separate YouTube TV app for Android and iOS and you'll also be able to stream the video from those apps to your big TV with a chromecast dongle or with a chromecast built in smart TV there's no word yet if a YouTube TV subscription will also include support for YouTube red features like getting rid of ads or offline viewing of video now this could work but I do have some doubts you see the next generation they consume videos that are made in completely different formats right I mean they love their Walking Dead and Game of Thrones I don't want my kids watch Game of Thrones but they do watch The Walking Dead and you know big massive dramas like that people like that and they might pay for a subscription to watch something like that I know I would but the whole next generation doesn't like sitcoms rom-coms traditional newscast and stuff like that is it really worth $35 a month or more to pay for those select shows that you like that only happen you know 12 weeks of the year I don't know what do you think let me know in the comments below I would pay 40 bucks a month maybe in 50 bucks a month to be able to watch Game of Thrones The Walking Dead when it comes out on any device I want in high-definition and I don't have to go to nefarious sites to consume it but I'm not so sure those of you who are under 20 would do that let me know educate me in the comments below
