YouTube’s working on a new streaming service called YouTube Unplugged

Looks like YouTube is going to try getting in on the streaming bandwagon with a new service called YouTube Unplugged.

The new service has been in the works for awhile now, with the aim of getting you to cut the cord on your cable and subscribe to them instead. They already have a subscriber service called YouTube Red, which allows you to see subscriber only content and is completely Ad-free, but this one will give you access to actual TV.

There isn’t much info on the service yet, aside from the fact that Google has apparently discussed with CBS, Viacom, NBCUNiversal and Twenty-First Century Fox to get their content on stream, but nothing concrete has been planned just yet.

YouTube is planning on keeping the service below $35; but we have no idea if it will be running on a video-on-demand platform or it would be like Astro. There’s also plans to make bundles available so it should be interesting to see what they have to offer.

We’re not even sure if we will have it available here, considering that subscriber content isn’t entirely available to Malaysians. Either way, the service is expected to drop sometime in 2017.

Do you think something like YouTube Unplugged could beat services like iflix? let us know in the comments.
