Cord cutters, the day has arrived! Today, Google has launched YouTube TV, its new TV streaming service, rolling it out in five major metropolitan areas across the U.S. — New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco Bay Area, Chicago, and Philadelphia. If you live in one of those areas, you can go and sign up for YouTube TV here. Google is giving away the first month of YouTube TV for free so that everyone can try it out before subscribing. You can head to the Google Play Store and download the YouTube TV app
Google announced YouTube TV back in February as part of its plan to take on the cable companies. It's aiming to target cord cutters by offering live streaming access to 40 TV channels for only $35 a month, with optional add-ons available for Showtime And FOX Soccer Plus. For a limited time only, Google's also offering to throw in a complimentary Google Chromecast once you've made your first monthly payment, which is a pretty sweet deal.
