The new metro areas include: Baltimore, Boston, Cincinnati, Columbus, OH, Jacksonville-Brunswick, Las Vegas, Louisville, Memphis, Nashville, Pittsburgh, San Antonio, Seattle-Tacoma, Tampa-St. Petersburg-Sarasota and West Palm Beach-Ft. Pierce. YouTube TV now offers the most markets with all four live local broadcast feeds from ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC.

With the continued expansion of YouTube TV, millions more people are able to stream live sports, live local news and must-see shows from top broadcast and cable networks.

YouTube TV delivers live content to viewers in a way that suits their mobile and flexible lifestyles and we’re already seeing that live TV represents the majority of time spent watching on the service. YouTube TV is also now measured and reported through Nielsen’s Digital in TV Ratings and contributes directly to C3/C7 currency, providing media buyers and sellers with a more comprehensive and transparent view of audiences engaging with the service across digital devices.

YouTube TV first launched in April in five markets – New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco Bay Area, Chicago and Philadelphia, before expanding into an additional ten markets that included Washington, DC, Houston, Atlanta, Phoenix, Detroit, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Miami-Ft. Lauderdale, Orlando-Daytona Beach-Melbourne, Charlotte and Dallas-Fort Worth.

• YouTube TV can be watched on any screen – mobile, tablet or computer – and easily streamed to your TV with a Google Chromecast, Chromecast built-in TV, and AirPlay through Apple TV.

YouTube TV was built for the YouTube generation that loves live TV but wants it delivered in a way that suits their mobile and flexible lifestyles. In fact, we see more Millennials using YouTube TV than any other generational group. According to Nielsen data from Q1 2017, half of traditional TV viewers are over 49, whereas YouTube TV is seeing over half of its viewership come from 18 to 34 year old Millennials, with the service seeing seeing great traction with broader audiences as well.

YouTube TV will continue to quickly expand to cover more cities across the country in the coming weeks and months. Visit tv.youtube.com and sign up to find out when we’ll launch in your market.
