Media's AI PivotBackground
YouTube TV is a subscription, over-the-top live-television service operated by Google through its YouTube subsidiary. It launched on 5 April 2017 in five US markets (New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia and San Francisco) and has since expanded nationwide, offering live linear feeds and on-demand content from more than 100 US television networks, including the major broadcast networks and a cloud-based DVR. It is aimed at cord-cutters leaving traditional cable packages and is available only in the United States. As of November 2025 the service had surpassed 10 million subscribers, making it the largest live-TV streaming platform in the US.
This week YouTube TV was named as a customer of WSC Sports' AI clip-cutting technology, part of the vendor/federation layer of automated sports-production tools that broadcasters and platforms are adopting to generate short-form highlights at scale.
