YouTube considering introducing subscription-based streaming service

The New York Post reports:

YouTube is weighing the introduction of a premium, subscription-based video service, The Post has learned.

The video giant is holding conversations with program providers about adding more top-shelf content to its channels but putting it behind a pay-wall as some newspapers have done, sources said.

Insiders familiar with YouTube’s plans stress the move doesn’t mean the Google unit is suddenly going to start charging for what is already available for free — but rather would add some premium offerings not on the site.

Your entertainment options might expand even further.
