(Reuters)\n – Alphabet Inc’s Google on Wednesday raised the monthly membership \nprice of its YouTube TV online service by 25 percent to $49.99, while \nadding channels such as Discovery, Animal Planet and TLC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\n second price rise in nearly 14 months comes as YouTube expands its \noffering to better compete with a growing number of services, including \nDish Network Corp’s Sling TV, AT&T’s DirecTV Now and Hulu, which are\n vying to attract viewers cancelling cable subscriptions, or cord \ncutting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google had raised the price of YouTube TV from $35 to $40 in February last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\n cost for competing services such as Hulu’s offering with more than 60 \nchannels is $44.99 per month, while its library of shows and movies \ncosts an additional $5.99.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouTube\n TV will be adding eight new channels, including the Travel Channel, \nHGTV and Food Network, to take the total number of networks to more than\n 70.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\n new price takes effect from April 10 for new members, while the revised\n fee for existing subscribers will come into force after May 13, it said\n in a blog post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The price for members billed through Apple will be $54.99 per month, it added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
