YouTube TV recently quietly rolled out to 34 new markets. This brings the total number of markets YouTube TV is available into 84. We do not have a full list of every local added but this could put YouTube TV over 400 locals along with Hulu’s live TV service. (Remember the last few times YouTube TV added new markets they did not include all locals in every market.)

YouTube TV recently added support for 60 frames per second (fps) to some channels. At first, it only worked on ESPN and FS1 sports networks. Now YouTube TV has added 60fps support to:
ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN News, SEC Network, FS1, FS2, BTN, FX, FXX, FXM, Regional Fox Sports Networks, National Geographic, Nat Geo Wild, and Fox Soccer Plus.
60fps offers a far better experience but also means it takes up twice the amount of data because it is using double the frames every second. So many live TV services have kept 60fps for their sports-related channels.
