These markets, together with the 10 markets already active, bring YouTube TV service to about half of Americans. YouTube said it struck a deal with Sinclair so it can air ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC affiliates in nine of the 14 new markets.
The 17 markets on deck for YouTube TV in the near future include: Austin, Birmingham, Cleveland-Akron, Denver, Grand Rapids-Kalamazoo-Battle Creek, Greensboro-High Point-Winston Salem, Harrisburg-Lancaster-Lebanon-York, Hartford-New Haven, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Milwaukee, Norfolk-Portsmouth-Newport News, Oklahoma City, Raleigh-Durham, Salt Lake City, San Diego, and St. Louis.
The same deal with Sinclair brings live ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC to 11 of these 17 markets.
YouTube TV costs $35 per month, includes up to six personal accounts all with unlimited DVR recordings and access. The number of channels is still limited to about 50.
