the project.

plan with major media companies such as
Viacom, NBCUniversal, and Twenty-First
Century Fox but had yet to obtain rights to
any content, according to unidentified
sources cited by Bloomberg.
YouTube is a unit of Alphabet-owned
Google, where it has been billed as a star
performer when it comes to attracting
viewers and revenue.
YouTube last year introduced Red, were ad-
free videos can be seen for monthly
subscriptions of $10 in the United States.
