The channels will be collected together in a central hub, providing viewers with the option to choose from.
The new feature launch will put YouTube in direct comPetition with Roku and Plex.
Currently, YouTube already has a platform known as YouTube Tv which works on a similar model but with paid subscription. It is likely that the new feature can be marketed using the YouTube Tv brand.
