YouTube TV Adds Turner, Bumps Subscription Price to $40

NBA TV and MLB Network will also be added in near future

YouTube TV continues to stock up on content, adding Turner’s slate of channels to its cord-cutting package on Wednesday.

The budding streaming option will now feature TNT, Adult Swim, TBS, CNN, Cartoon Network, truTV and Turner Classic Movies, along with more than 50 other channels. The Google-owned service also mentioned NBA TV and MLB Network will be added in the near future.

The extra content comes at a cost. Starting on March 13, YouTube TV will bump up its subscription price from $35 to $40 a month. Current members and new customers who sign up prior to March 13 will be grandfathered into the $35 price.

After launching last year, YouTube TV has expanded into the top 100 markets in the U.S. The cable-free service is now streamable on most platforms, including Roku, Apple TV, Xbox, Android TV, and Chromecast.

YouTube TV has been making a play for sports fans, and has become the lead sponsor on ABC/ESPN’s Saturday Night NBA broadcasts. In the coming months, NBA League Pass and MLB.TV, packages that let fans watch any game, will be offered for an extra fee. The streaming service allows six accounts per package, and boasts no limit cloud storage for recording shows.
