Google-owned YouTube has announced that it’s raising the price of its TV subscription from $64.99 per month to $72.99 per month due to rising “content costs”.

The company shared the update on Twitter via its YouTube TV account on Thursday: “An update for our members. As content costs have risen and we continue to invest in our quality of service, we’ll be adjusting our monthly cost, after 3 years, from $64.99/month to $72.99/month, in order to bring you the best possible TV service.”

The price change for new members begins on March 16, while the price change for existing members will begin on April 18.
