Today Windstream announced that it has partnered with YouTube TV to sell YouTube TV to its customers instead of a traditional TV service. This means you can now bundle YouTube TV with Windstream internet service.
“Partnering with YouTube TV gives our customers a way to cut the cord without sacrificing live, local coverage and seamlessly access the latest on-demand content,” said Jeff Small, president of the company’s consumer and small and midsize business segment. “Fortunately, for our customers, the reliable high-speed network delivered by Kinetic is the best place to enjoy streaming video.”
This is not the first time YouTube TV has partnered with a cable TV company. In 2019 YouTube TV partnered with Verizon Fios, Cincinnati Bell, and Hawaiian Telcom to offer YouTube TV bundled with Verizon Fios home internet. This helps YouTube reach more customers and helps cord cutters easily manage multiple bills.
What is YouTube TV?
YouTube TV is the live streaming service from YouTube. This is not YouTube where the content comes from individual content creators (although you will find some original shows from YouTube creators on the YouTube Originals channel). The streaming service has many major networks for watching prime time TV, sports, news, movies, and more.
With a YouTube TV subscription, you’ll get 70+ channels including live local channels. You’ll also have access to a library of on-demand content.
