YouTube TV Adds AMC and More for 'The Walking Dead' Fans
As more and more people look to cut the cord while avoiding too many streaming platforms, YouTube TV has stepped in to help. It offers the ability to subscribe to genre-specific packages, and the latest update has enabled more people to watch The Walking Dead , Interview with the Vampire , and much more.
Once upon a time, AMC, IFC, Sundance Now, BBC America, and WE tv were only available to those on the highest-priced, full-service YouTube TV plans. That meant getting a load of channels that you didn't necessarily want or need, leading to a waste of money. However, Cord Cutters News reports that all those channels are now being added to the lower-priced subscriptions.
On top of that, if you have the news plan, you'll be able to get BBC World News. It doesn't matter which of the news plans you're on, either, allowing more access to global updates.
Out of all the additions for the entertainment packages, AMC is likely the biggest draw. This is where viewers can catch up on The Walking Dead , Interview with the Vampire , and Dark Winds . It's a platform that focuses on original dramatic shows and has drawn in millions of viewers over the years.
However, if you love independent theater, you'll be excited to see the IFC addition. Sundance Now offers independent movies and shows, including A Discovery of Witches , and WE tv is all about reality and lifestyle. For those who love British TV, BBC America is the home for that. There really is something for everyone.
As most streaming platforms are increasing their prices, YouTube TV is adding more without the extra cost. It's a competitive way to gain more subscribers, although it is worth noting that the higher-priced premium plans are increasing in price. Peacock and Apple TV were also among the latest platforms to announce price hikes, annoying many people who are struggling with the rising cost of living.
There has been a push for more ad-supported channels. It's led to a rise in interest in the likes of Pluto TV and Tubi, and now more streamers are adding ad-supported tiers to their platforms for those on a tighter budget.
