Imagine: What if you wanted YouTube TV, but only for the entertainment channels? You can now enjoy that dream through the new YouTube TV Entertainment Plan. It’s one of many skinny bundles that YouTube TV recently introduced so that viewers can save up on streaming costs. How?

As of writing, the Entertainment Plan also happens to be the cheapest way you can enjoy YouTube TV.
Trim down YouTube TV to pure entertainment
Sign up for Youtube TV Entertainment PlanYouTube TV Entertainment Plan carries 27+ channels, including Adult Swim, Animal Planet, BET, Bravo, CMT, Comedy Central, and more.
With streaming subscriptions steadily nearing the cost of cable, many streaming services are currently pivoting their strategy by releasing cheaper, skinnier bundles... Including YouTube TV. This Entertainment Plan is one such slimmer package, focused exclusively on entertainment channels like Comedy Central and Bravo.
"Entertainment" can be a rather broad term, since, after all, most people who watch television usually do so for entertainment in general. In this specific case, "Entertainment" here refers to channels like Comedy Central, Bravo, and HGTV. Given the late night airings and straight-to-air filming, this plan is more suitable for adult subscribers.
If you just don't like sports, or you want to keep streaming and news updates separate, the Entertainment Plan is for you. Additionally, given that it's the cheapest base plan YouTube TV has to offer, it's also a great choice for cord-cutters who would like to try the platform, but aren't too sure they want to pay the pesky RSN and local programming fees certain channels have tacked on.
