    Still seeing 3 on the website with the new pricing. https://tv.youtube.com/welcome/. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Switching from Fubo.tv
    TUDN is part of the base plan. I can see it in my guide without any addons. When I go to https://tv.youtube.com/welcome and enter my zip code it shows in the "all channels" list there too. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Bay Area Dweller Refusing to Buy Cable Subscription
    You can check what channels are available by inputting your zip code at this site. If NBC Sports Bay Area is on that list after you input your zip code, you're good to go. Source: about 1 year ago
