Google's YouTube TV has announced a price hike, raising the monthly subscription from $72.99 to $82.99 effective January 13th. The service, which originally launched at $49, continues to increase costs due to rising carriage fees paid to major networks. Despite the price increase, the platform remains popular for its "unlimited" cloud DVR capability, though users must still pay an additional fee for 4K content.

The financial viability of cable news is questioned as cord-cutting reduces the carriage fees that sustain these networks. Listeners are encouraged to cancel cable subscriptions to accelerate the decline of legacy media.
