For now, YouTube is estimating viewers’ interest and if everything goes according to plan, the Google-owned service may ask for a 45% cut of the ad revenue. This is actually YouTube’s deal with content creators as well.

Additionally, YouTube is discussing the new plans with Lionsgate and A&E, that is the owner History, FYI, and Lifetime channels. Moreover, the channels will be collected together in a central hub, providing viewers with the option to choose from. Currently, YouTube already has a platform known as YouTube Tv which works on a similar model but with a paid subscription.

This appears to be yet another push from YouTube to branch out. More recently, YouTube signed a deal with NFL Sunday Ticket. It will be streamed on YouTube TV and YouTube Primetime Channels, starting this year. It’s also beginning to share its ad revenue with creators of YouTube Shorts, which would make the service more attractive than TikTok.
