YouTube TV is squeezing Pittsburghers where it hurts most

SHARE

Your next YouTube TV bill could hit different for us.

So listen—everyone's talking about YouTube TV changin' up their streaming tiers, makin' some cheaper plans disappear, n'at. Nationally, it's a headache for folks tryin' to save a buck, but here in Pittsburgh? This hits different, yinz. Think about all those folks in Polish Hill or Lawrenceville, workin' hard, maybe tryin' to cut cable but still wanna watch the Penguins chase another Cup or catch the Steelers on a Sunday. Every dollar counts here. When you’re thinkin' about buyin' pierogies for the week versus keepin' your streaming, these price hikes ain't just an inconvenience; they’re a real choice for a lot of families.

We're a city that loves our sports, loves our local news, and honestly, we're resourceful. We make things work. But when big tech companies like YouTube TV start pullin' options, it just feels like another squeeze on the working-class folks who built this city. It’s tough enough with the cost of everything else goin' up, and now our entertainment budget gets hit, too? It's the Burgh, yinz — steel town heart, no matter what, and we feel these things right here at home.

That's the Burgh, yinz — steel town heart, no matter what.

The guys on the morning show are always talkin' about this kinda stuff – catch 'em at mornings.live.
