YouTube TV adds Univision and other Spanish-language channels

YouTube TV is now a better proposition for Spanish-speaking viewers. The cord-cutter service has added three Spanish-language channels from Univision at “no extra cost,” including Univision proper as well as the youth-oriented UniMás network and the general entertainment of Galavisión. All three are included at “no extra cost,” so you shouldn’t have to brace for another rate hike.

This could help YouTube keep up with and claim an edge over rivals by courting Latinx viewers that don’t always get a healthy selection from streaming TV services. It’s just as well — at $65 per month, YouTube’s offering is expensive enough that it has to rely more on selection than raw value to attract subscribers.
