YouTube expected to launch new online TV service with ESPN, ABC and CBS

This will have an impact on the next TV negotiations. A good impact too.

"The Information (subscription required) reports that YouTube is expected to launch this service within six to nine months at a cost of $35/month."

Does CBS include CBS Sports Net? Since they're a partner for C-USA and have a terrible online presence I've been looking for a slingTV like service that has them. Only one so far seems to be Southern Fibernet Now, but that doesn't include beIN sports like Vue does.

Otherwise your basically paying $35 dollars for ESPN. It's a dirty trick.

I'm paying $15 dollars for HBO, Showtime and Starz which I'll take over that any day.

I'm hard pressed to see how this is worth while. Is there something I'm missing about this??

$35/month?? Seems a bit steep

Right, another player in the game of the online streaming bundle.

So that will give us DISH (Sling), AT&T (DirecTV), Sony (Playstation VUE) and now Google (YouTube).

Good for channels - more distributors to sell to, and good for consumers as it gives us more competition to keep prices lower.
