At launch, YouTube TV was limited to just a few supported markets, but it’s spread rather quickly. As of August, it had expanded to 100 service locations. Google is rolling YouTube TV.
YouTube TV has officially completed its US rollout, with the company announcing that the over-the-top internet streaming service is now available in the Glendive, Montana area, the final television market in the US that had lacked YouTube TV availability.
It’s a big milestone for the service, which is now available in all 210 US television markets — up from the 195 that YouTube announced back in January. That said, not all YouTube TV markets are equal, with some areas not offering all four of the major local networks so you’ll want to check your zip code on the YouTube TV website to see what’s available.
The nationwide rollout also highlights one of the biggest strengths of internet-based TV over traditional cable: widespread access, with YouTube offering the same service at the same price to everyone in the US, something that essentially doesn’t exist for regular cable TV.
