Sick of cable? This is the one live TV streaming service I'd use to cut the cord
I cut the cord years ago. But this year, I finally tested all of the best live TV streaming services for Tom's Guide, so I could definitively say which one was the best, and possibly even ditch my current service: YouTube TV. I've been a loyal YouTube TV customer for close to five years now. It's been far superior to cable, but I will admit, I wasn't sure it was better than the other live TV services. It's tough to change, though, so I wasn't in a rush to leave. But I had to test and review all six of the current live TV streaming services, and if I found a better option, I was going to leave YouTube TV. As I started reviewing all six services, I pretty quickly eliminated three of them. DirecTV has a ton of channels, but its pricing veers close to cable territory, and I didn't love the user interface. Philo simply lacks enough channels to be worth it, even at just $28 a month. Fubo offers a ton of channels, but it misses out on a lot of the most popular ones and it has hidden fees thanks to regional sports networks (RSNs). So that left me with three options: Sling TV, which has been our top live TV streaming service for a while, Hulu with Live TV, and, of course, YouTube TV. Each had things going for them. Sling TV costs just $45.99 a month for its base plan and even its most expensive plan tops out at just $65.99. That's significantly less than YouTube TV and Hulu with Live TV, which both cost $82.99. Hulu with Live TV makes that higher price point easier to swallow, though, because it includes the streaming services Hulu, Disney Plus and ESPN Plus (all with ads) in your subscription for free. That's a $16.99 bundle normally, so we're talking about serious value. Of course, YouTube TV is no slouch. Its user interface is clean and easy to use, and it offers features like multiview and catching up with key plays. If you're a football fan, it'll even give you a discount on NFL Sunday Ticket and integrate it into your YouTube TV app. Ultimately, I'm sticking with YouTube TV and it's still the live TV streaming service I'd recommend to most people. But it was very close. YouTube TV is the live TV streaming service I recommend for most people. It features most of the popular channels you want, has a great user interface that's easy to use, and includes features like unlimited cloud DVR, three simultaneous streams, multiview, catching up with key plays and more. It's not perfect, but it's still the live TV streaming service to beat. Try it now for 21 days! Sling TV's big problem is that, while it's a great budget live TV streaming service, it can't fully replicate what you get from the full-flavored live TV services. Missing out on local channels (you can't get CBS in any market) was essentially a dealbreaker, and it didn't help that you don't get quite a few popular channels even in its highest tier plan. The lack of unlimited cloud DVR wasn't great either, but at least that's fixable by paying $5 extra a month. Hulu with Live TV is better than Sling. It has the popular channels I want (save AMC), includes unlimited cloud DVR and gives you the Disney Bundle, a value that is no joke. But it's limited to just two streams, and the user interface is not conducive to live TV viewing, even though for streaming on-demand content, it's perfectly fine. In the end, I still found YouTube TV to be the best overall live TV experience. It's not perfect — it's not as good a value as Hulu with Live TV, and it misses out on a few popular channels. But overall, it gives you all the features you'd expect from a live TV service and more and it's enjoyable to use. In the end, that's what matters the most to me, and that's why YouTube TV remains my pick for the one live TV streaming service I'd use to cut the cord. Malcolm has been with Tom's Guide since 2022, and has been covering the latest in streaming shows and movies since 2023. He's not one to shy away from a hot take, including that "John Wick" is one of the four greatest films ever made. Here's what he's been watching lately:

YouTube spotlights how brands can own cultural moments at ad showcase
This story was originally published on Marketing Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Marketing Dive newsletter. YouTube is deepening its partnership with the NFL and integrating with parent Google's Gemini artificial intelligence (AI), the platform announced Wednesday at its annual Brandcast presentation focused on developments around content and ads. Ad offerings discussed include a sponsorship package focused on owning cultural moments such as Black Friday; an expansion of shoppable connected TV (CTV) tools; and a Peak Points format built on Gemini that matches brands with 'peak moments' on YouTube based on contextual relevance. The video platform also said it will exclusively stream the first Friday game of the upcoming NFL season, the first time it has acted as a live broadcaster for the league. The event hosted in São Paolo, Brazil, will run on the NFL's official YouTube channel free of charge. YouTube's Brandcast event underscored the platform's dual focus on historic strengths in the creator economy and user-generated content, as well as its rising stature in CTV and more prime-time programming like live sports. The evening also saw YouTube packaging together these strengths as a way to pitch the platform as a top choice for tapping into cultural moments, a key marketing strategy for addressing audience fragmentation. During the event, executives pointed to stats that reflect YouTube's central role in cultural moments, including ranking No. 1 in streaming watch time for more than two years, per Nielsen data. This year's event, again hosted at Manhattan's Lincoln Center, showcased popular creator talent including Sean Evans of 'Hot Ones' and internet megastar MrBeast, along with the likes of Lady Gaga and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. Speaking to the larger upfronts theme around sports, YouTube touted its evolving work with the NFL, including plans for the platform's first live game broadcast and a multiyear pact for the Super Bowl Flag Football Game. Internal data show that consumers spent over 350 million hours viewing NFL content on YouTube last year. YouTube TV, its CTV service, is the current carrier of the desirable NFL Sunday Ticket. On the advertising front, YouTube unveiled a Cultural Moments Sponsorship package that helps brands own the conversation around specific events, such as The PGA Championship, Black Friday or awards season. Also new are contextual Peak Points ads powered by Gemini AI that aim to deliver messages to YouTube audiences when they're most likely to be engaged. At the same time, YouTube is upgrading its existing shoppable CTV ads with an interactive product feed supported by the Google Merchant Center, angling to tie premium video closer to transactions. In addition, the platform has revamped its masthead placement on CTV homepages with a more immersive design. In the U.S., YouTube CTV campaigns drove more than 50 million average monthly conversions across Q4 2024, a period that includes the holidays. YouTube has boasted that it is the top streaming destination for viewers based on Nielsen estimates, a shot across the bow at more traditional streamers and media conglomerates. Brandcast was also a moment for advertisers to testify to YouTube's capabilities. QSR giant Inspire Brands noted that Shorts, YouTube's TikTok lookalike, has helped strengthen Dunkin's connections to Gen Z consumers. The coffee chain achieved 78% positive sentiment around the holidays through efforts with Shorts creators. State Farm meanwhile has leveraged YouTube to reach golfers around the PGA Championships, including through a Spotlight feature, channel takeovers and a custom brand integration with Caddie & the Kid, a new series on the LOL Network. Brandcast caps off a pitching bonanza for YouTube that last week included NewFronts presentations for both the video platform as a standalone offering and its parent Google. At Google's NewFronts, the company announced that it would begin using retail media data to target YouTube campaigns this summer, another sign of the convergence between the lower-funnel channel and upper-funnel video. In recent years, YouTube has shifted some of its attention from the NewFronts, which are digitally-oriented, to the upfronts window aimed at winning legacy TV advertising budgets. This year's YouTube's Brandcast was hosted shortly after Netflix's upfront roadshow in an indication of how YouTube views its competitive set.
