Until now the $40-per-month service, which offers a slate of live TV channels streamed over the Internet as an alternative to traditional cable TV, was only available in certain markets. It launched in April 2017 in five US cities -- Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and the San Francisco Bay Area -- and has steadily expended since, reaching 100 markets in August 2018.

With today's expansion it blows up to 195 markets, which covers 98 percent of US households. The remaining two percent, aka the rest of the country, will also get YouTube TV "shortly thereafter." When asked whether it would be a matter of days or weeks, a YouTube representative told CNET "I don't have any more concrete timelines to share so far, but it's not a matter of days."
