YouTube launched a music subscription service Music
Key for Android and iOS in November last years.
Now, it seems like YouTube is expanding its subscription service to video.
YouTube is considering to launch a subscription video
service owing to increased competition for original content
from VoD services including Hulu and Vimeo.
The possibility of this service was noticed in a Variety report that says that “YouTube is exploring the prospect of launching its own subscription VOD service, modeled on YouTube Music
Key;” .
YouTube Music Key beta, monthly subscription service is available at a promotional price of US$7.99/ month and the original price is US$9.99/month.
It is said that the paid service will provide ad free video
streaming.
An executive at a YouTube content creation partner said that it was approached by the video site late last year about getting on board an SVOD licensing deal.
There is no word from YouTube regarding the service.
