Roughly two years after unveiling its streaming television service at a New York City press event, YouTube TV is officially available in every single market across America.
The skinny bundle service, which offers more than 60 channels (plus paid add-ons) for $40 per month, rolled out to 98% of U.S. households ahead of the Super Bowl in January, but is now available in all 210 American television markets. The last market to receive the service was Glendive, Montana, per a tweet from YouTube TV (below). Furthermore, 90% of the markets where the service is available feature local news affiliate coverage from ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC, 9 To 5 Google notes.
YouTube TV, which offers six accounts per subscription — as well as a cloud-based DVR with no storage limit — has reportedly amassed 1 million subscribers to date, falling short of competitor Hulu With Live TV, which launched roughly around the same time and now counts 2 million subscribers.
Amid its national rollout, YouTube TV also announced a substantial hire earlier this month, appointing former NBCUniversal exec Lori Conkling to oversee global partnerships. In her new role, Conkling will lead programming and packaging strategies at the fledgling service.
