YouTube TV is hiking its monthly price, again. Here's what to know

NEW YORK (AP) -- Are you a YouTube TV subscriber? Your monthly bills are about to get more expensive again. YouTube has announced that it's upping the price of its streaming service's base plan by $10 -- citing rising content costs and other investments. The new $82.99 per month price tag will go into effect starting Jan. 13 for existing subscribers, and immediately for new customers who sign up going forward. YouTube TV has rolled out a series of price hikes over the years. When launched back in 2017, the going price of its streaming package was $35 a month. By 2019, that fee rose to $50 -- and has climbed higher and higher since.
