YouTube TV debuts genre-specific bundles to trim monthly bills

YouTube TV is rolling out standalone, genre-curated subscription plans (Sports, Entertainment, and more) that let users buy targeted channel bundles at prices lower than the standard service. The Sports plan runs about $65/month (with CNN and CSPAN available for a $72 total), while the Entertainment plan starts around $55/month (with a $70 tier that adds Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon and some news networks). Core YouTube TV perks—unlimited DVR, multiview, and up to six members on an account—remain, and premium add-ons like HBO Max, 4K Plus, and NFL Sunday Ticket are still available. Some plans will roll out over several weeks, and new customers can get a discount for the first three months.
