#NFL #SundayTicket  #YouTubeTV  #Football For some time now we have heard that Google was aiming to buy rights to the NFL Sunday Ticket when its contract expires after the 2021-2022 season. Over the weekend, YouTube’s head of product was seen sitting with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell at the Minnesota Vikings vs San Francisco 49ers game.

Google is not the only one trying to get these rights. Amazon is also reportedly working on getting rights to the NFL Sunday Tick...

#YouTubeTV #PBS #PBSKids Earlier this year,  PBS announced  it had secured for its member stations streaming agreements on YouTube’s live TV service, YouTube TV. Today, that deal goes live. PBS says more than 100 of its local stations are now available on YouTube TV by way of dedicated live channels for both PBS and PBS Kids, as well through on-demand programming. More stations are expected to be added in 2020, PBS notes. PBS service is available to 75% of U.S. households via YouTube TV, significantly broadening PBS’ reach among cord-cutters. Before today, PBS programming has been available through the PBS.org and PBSKids.org websites, as well as the PBS Video app and PBS Kids app for iOS, Android, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Samsung TV and Chromecast. Some of its programming has also been  available on-demand  via channels offered by Amazon and Apple, as well as through popular on-demand streaming services like Netflix. And of course, U.S. household...

#YouTubeTV #CableTV #CordCutting #Alphabet As more people cut the traditional cable, YouTube TV may be best positioned to pick up the pieces. Since cutting the cable cord more than four years ago, I've made the rounds of streaming TV services. I've been a subscriber of Netflix, Hulu, Hulu Live TV, AT&T's DirecTV Now, and Dish Network's Sling TV at various times with varying results. But every service has its weaknesses, especially when it comes to the availability of live sports. This year, I made the switch to YouTube TV, and I think it's become by far the best streaming replacement for cable TV. It has the major local channels, the best sports content, and most popular non-sports cable channels as well, all for $40 a month. What's worse for competitors is that Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL), YouTube's parent company, can provide the best technology of streaming services, and it doesn't have to make money on YouTube TV to survive, al...

#PBS #YouTubeTV A few weeks ago,  you may have seen our report that PBS would be added to YouTube TV starting on the 4th of November. Now according to several PBS Stations YouTube TV and PBS have jointly decided to delay the rollout of YouTube TV for a few more weeks. According to a post on Twitter from the Twin Cities PBS both YoUtube TV and PBS hope to have PBS live on YouTube TV by the end of 2019. “PBS and YouTube TV have jointly decided to delay the launch for a few more weeks with a target prior to 2020.  Everyone wants the best experience for viewers, therefore some final testing is still being rolled out.” This is breaking news more coming soon.

Pausing memberships isn't something that many subscription services offer, but YouTube TV is now joining that limited club. In the (probably pretty rare) instance that you'd like to pause your YouTube TV subscription, but not completely cancel it, that's now an option according to YouTube TV's support documents. YouTube TV will allow your subscription to be paused for anywhere from four weeks to six months. It looks like the main reason you'd do so instead of canceling it is to have your recordings continue to be saved while you go on your hiatus, though the nine-month expiration date for recordings still applies. In the event that you want to resume your membership prior to the return date you'd set, the date that you do that becomes the new monthly billing date. If you'd like to utilize this subscription pausing feature, just go to YouTube TV's membership settings (or hit  this link ), click 'Deactivate membership,' then 'Pause memb...
