YouTube TV added absent popular channels like MTV and Nickelodeon in 2020 after signing a deal with ViacomCBS, but now the streaming service is finally adding the remaining stragglers like Nick Jr. and MTV2, according to What to watch.
New additions include Nick Jr., Teen Nick, Nicktoons, MTV Classic, MTV2, Dabl and BET Her. Usually these channels are derived from better-known offers like BET and MTV, but Nick Jr.’s children’s programming will definitely make some parents breathe easy. Dabl – which I’ve never heard of before – is apparently ViacomCBS’s “lifestyle network” for licensing cooking and home programs Emeril Live and Martha Stewart Living. It is probably great for a late night marathon or for daily background noise when working from home.
Unlike the original addition of ViacomCBS ‘biggest channels, this new drop will not come with a price increase for YouTube TV, but it is the latest in a collection of minor updates that the service received last month. In February, YouTube TV announced that it plans to offer a 4K streaming option and offline downloads. In the same month, it also launched an additional $ 30 package that includes HBO Max, Showtime and Starz for $ 5 cheaper than they would be separately.
