Your YouTube TV bill might be about to get a lot heavier. The streaming giant is rolling out a major price hike on its base plan, bumping the monthly cost from $72.99 to $82.99 for new subscribers starting immediately, with existing customers seeing the change on their next billing cycle. That's a $10 jump—or 13.7%—which means you're paying an extra $120 per year for the same channels. To make matters worse, this is the fifth price increase since the service launched in 2017, and it comes with no new features or added content, just higher fees to offset rising network costs. For families already stretching their budgets, this could be the final straw, pushing many to cut the cord on cord-cutting and switch to cheaper alternatives like Sling TV or Philo.
