YouTube tipped to strike licensing deals for TV shows and films

YouTube’s Robert Kyncl at the launch of the YouTube Red service
 
Youtube have been trying to make deals with TV firms and big comapanies so that they can show their shows on youtube. This will help improve their viewers etc.This will be a competition that they will have to compete with Netflix and other big companies that offer  this sort of service.
  • The online video service is keen for its $9.99-a-month service to compete more directly with rivals such as Netflix, Amazon and Hulu, according to the Wall Street Journal.
  • The shows or movies may be streamed exclusively on YouTube Red, or could be released through traditional channels like movie theaters, cable networks and DVDs alongside the YouTube subscription service.”
  • It’s based on people paying $12.99 for a monthly subscription within the app – YouTube has added $3 to the cost of YouTube Red to account for Apple’s 30% cut of in-app purchases.
I think this will be a good thing for Yputube as it will attract many more people that dont get to cathc up with TV shows that often. Eventhough there are many services availables as many people are fond and know about Youtube because they are already familiar with it will help them alot.
