YouTube Raises Its TV Prices

The Google-owned service, not to be confused with the free version of YouTube, also announced that it's adding Discovery channels including Discovery Channel, HGTV, Food Network, TLC, Investigation Discovery, Animal Planet, Travel Channel, and MotorTrend. 

YouTube TV, a live TV streaming service designed to replace a traditional cable TV package, will raise its monthly price from $40 to $50. Subscribers billed through Apple will have to pay $55.

YouTube TV is one of a handful of new subscription options aimed at cable TV cord cutters who want to stream live TV channels such as ESPN, TNT and CNN, as well as local channels including ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC.

Apple takes a 30 percent share of subscription revenue made through iOS apps or iTunes, with that cut dropping to 15 percent if the app holds onto the member for subsequent years.

YouTube TV's official twitter feed says current subscribers will see the increase in the first billing cycle after May 13. Unlike DirecTV Now, which allows subscribers to keep the older, lower pricing if they don't cancel service, there's no so-called grandfathered pricing with YouTube TV.

PUMA To Re-release The ROMA 68 OG

The shoe at hand debuted back in 1968 around the time when Italy won the UEFA Euro championship for the first time. All the original specs make it back for this version, including the premium leather upper, classic gum sole and low-top construction. 

The neutral colorway of “Whisper White” and “Blue Yonder” is also a throwback to the original drop, with the gold accents on the side panel and heel also directly alluding to the European Football Championship won. Overall, the fact that shoe is back is a win for all of us.

PUMA never fails when it comes to reaching back into the vault, reintroducing the RS-Computer from 1986 last season and even bringing back the Inhale silhouette from 2000 last month. Now, the next re-release comes in the form of the ROMA 68 OG.
