YouTube has just released its TV streaming service for select markets in the US. The service, named YouTube TV, launches offering 39 stations with a further ten expected to be arriving soon.
YouTube’s live TV streaming service is now available in five select US markets. The service, which was first announced earlier this year , will offer live and on-demand TV content for $35 per month.
The launch comes as Google also releases a beta version of YouTube Go, an app for offline viewing and sharing of YouTube videos, on the Play Store.
Users of iOS and Android will be able to access the service through the new YouTube TV app or through a web-based interface. Using YouTube TV on a television set currently requires a Chromecast, which Google is offering to subscribers to the service for free after the first month’s payment.
