Showtime
Offering a popular add-on like Showtime is a great way for YouTube TV to stand out from other streaming services, and it opens up the possibility for them to start offering other premium channels in the future. The only downside is that YouTube TV does not offer a free trial period, which means you’ll be paying $11 per month before you get the chance to see if it’s worth it.
