YouTube on Wednesday unveiled a new US$10-a-month subscription plan in the US called Red that combines ad-free videos, new original series and movies from top YouTubers, and on-demand unlimited streaming music.
Red builds on Google's existing music streaming service by providing ad-free access to YouTube programming, along with features such as the ability to download videos to mobile devices and have music playing in the background while using other mobile apps.
Current subscribers to the Google Play Music service, which also costs US$10 a month, will also get access to Red.
