• YouTube TV subscribers are canceling their subscriptions before the next price hike goes into effect.
• The streaming service is reportedly offering a six-month price lock for those who are considering canceling their subscription.
• It appears the deal is only being offered to some, not everyone.

Once again, YouTube TV is raising its ever-escalating prices. The base plan is set to go from $72.99/month to $82.99/month in early January. At this point, it’s hard to believe that the service launched at a price of only $35/month in 2017. Expectedly, this has frustrated the service’s user base, many of whom are now considering canceling. To hold on to these customers for a little longer, it looks like YouTube TV has started offering what’s essentially a temporary price lock.

As customers move to cancel their YouTube TV subscriptions in response to the incoming price bump, some members appear to be getting offered an incentive to stay. A few of these subscribers have chimed in on Reddit to report that they were offered a six-month extension that would keep prices at the current rate.
