YouTube TV expands pay TV footprint through Windstream deal

YouTube TV has a new agreement in place with Windstream, continuing the virtual MVPD’s trend toward setting new distribution partnerships with traditional pay TV companies. Windstream’s Kinetic broadband customers will now have the option to add YouTube TV, which offers more than 70 channels for $49.99 per month.“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 consumer and small and midsize business segment at Windstream, in a statement. “Fortunately, for our customers, the reliable high-speed network delivered by Kinetic is the best place to enjoy streaming video.”
