If you are a YouTube TV customer who subscribes to Max through YouTube TV, you may have noticed something new. B/R Sports and CNN Max were recently added to the YouTube TV guide. (Thanks to the readers who let us know about this new feature.) Max subscribers could always access this content through the Max app now they can find these two 24/7 channels inside the YouTube TV guide.
Both of these channels launched on Max in the fall of 2024. Now YouTube TV is building them into a guide for anyone who pays for Max through YouTube TV.
The Bleacher Report B/R is part of a new sports tier on Max that launched on October 5, 2023, and will be available for free to all customers through February 29, 2024. Afterward, the add-on will cost $9.99 a month, and is available on all tiers.
CNN Max is not the same CNN feed you will find on cable TV. Instead this is a custom 24/7 feed of CNN programs. With CNN Max you will find new programming exclusively for max subscribers, including CNN Newsroom with Jim Acosta, Rahel Solomon, Amara Walker, and Fredricka Whitfield,” and “CNN Newsroom with Jim Sciutto.” You will also find featured CNN content like “Amanpour,” “Anderson Cooper 360,” “The Lead with Jake Tapper,” “The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer,” and more.
This comes as YouTube TV is slowly working to become a one-stop shop for not only live TV but other streaming services you subscribe to through YouTube TV.
