YouTube gets Unplugged

TV on the Radio is a band known for making noise on the indie rock scene since 2001. If YouTube has their way, they will make TV on the Internet a reality by 2017.

Already home to millions of hours of video content, many of which includes clips and episodes of popular TV shows, YouTube is planning to enter the world of pay TV. Theyll do it with the launch of a new service that would offer users a bundle of cable channels that would be streamed online.

Branded as Unplugged, the service would be available for under $35 per month. YouTube has already begun initial discussions about Unplugged with several major media companies, but has yet to get any of them on board. 

Unplugged isnt the Google-owned companys first foray into paid video streaming. YouTube launched its Red premium subscription service last year.
