Overview
- YouTube CEO Neal Mohan said in his annual letter that both the customizable multiview feature and new paid plans will arrive soon.
- The upgraded multiview will let viewers create their own layouts to watch multiple, user-selected live channels at the same time.
- YouTube TV will offer smaller, topic-focused subscriptions, with a Sports plan cited to include major broadcasters plus FS1, NBC Sports Network, ESPN networks, and ESPN’s streaming service.
- The company has not provided costs or specific rollout timing for either the customizable multiview or the new packages, after previously indicating the plans would launch “early next year.”
- Multiview began in 2023 for sports and later expanded to select news and weather channels with limited choices, setting the stage for today’s broader, user-driven approach.
