YouTube TV rates
YouTube announced Thursday that the price of its streaming service had increased $10 a month, a 14 percent increase, to $82.99. For new subscribers, the change takes effect immediately, while existing subscribers will begin to pay the higher price on Jan. 13.
In a statement posted on social media and emailed to YouTube TV subscribers, YouTube, a subsidiary of Google, cited “rising content costs” for the price change.
“We don’t make these decisions lightly, and we realize this impacts our members,” the company said, adding that anyone who was paying a discounted rate or was on a trial would not be affected until that promotional period ended.
The increase means YouTube TV is now charging the same as Hulu’s most popular television streaming package. Hulu, a rival cable substitute, raised that monthly streaming charge in October.
It is the latest in a series of price increases for YouTube TV, which debuted in 2017 at $35 a month and has slowly risen in price ever since, first to $50 a month in 2019 and most recently to $72.99 in March 2023.
YouTube will not be adding new channels for subscribers as part of the increase.
Gold, silver futures
February gold was down $23 to $2,686.20 an ounce Friday.
Silver for March was down $0.399 to $31.22 an ounce.
