YouTube TV announced today that in the next week it will start rolling out less expensive genre plans on subjects such as sports, entertainment and news. The packages, which will be similar to genre plans now offered by DIRECTV and Fubo, will be sold at prices lower than YouTube TV’s $82.99 a month base package.

The streamer today revealed details on four such genre packages with more than 10 expected in the coming weeks.

– The Sports Plan, which will be $64.99 a month, or $54.99 a month for new users, will include sports networks such as FS1, NBC Sports Network and all ESPN networks. Access to the ESPN Unlimited app will be added in the fall.

– The Sports+News plan, which will cost $71.99 a month, or $56.99 a month for new users, will include everything in the Sports plan plus national news networks such as CNN, Fox News and MS Now.

– The Entertainment Plan, which will cost $54.99 a month, or $44.99 a month for new users, will include such basic cable channels as Hallmark, Bravo, Comedy Central, Food Network and HGTV.

– The News+Entertainment+Family plan, which will cost $69.99 a month, or $59.99 a month for new users, will feature the Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, National Geographic, Cartoon Network, PBS Kids and more.

The $82.99 a month base package will still be offered. Subscribers who sign up for one of the genre plans will also still have access to features such as unlimited recording, the ability to add up to 6 members on one account, Key Plays, Multiview, the NFL Sunday Ticket and 4K Plus, among others.
