Overview
- YouTube CEO Neal Mohan used his annual letter on January 21 to confirm a fully customizable multiview experience arriving soon.
- Custom multiview will let viewers build their own layouts and mix channels across sports, news, entertainment, and more, expanding beyond previous preset groupings.
- YouTube TV plans roughly ten paid, genre-focused packages designed to narrow channel lineups to topics like sports, news, family, or entertainment.
- An example sports-focused option is expected to include major broadcasters and networks such as ESPN networks, ESPN+, FS1, and NBC Sports Network, as reported in coverage of Mohan’s letter.
- YouTube has not disclosed prices or exact rollout dates, after previously signaling an early next year timeframe, and is framing the changes as giving subscribers more control over what they watch and pay for.
