YouTube Said to Launch Music Subscription Service
YouTube plans to introduce a paid music streaming service in March, Bloomberg reported on Thursday.
Warner Music Group has already signed on while Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group, and Merlin, a consortium of independent labels, are in talks with the video streaming website, Bloomberg said.
The service, internally referred to as Remix according to Bloomberg, will compete with similar offerings from Spotify and Apple.
YouTube launched ad-free, subscription-based YouTube Red in 2016 featuring exclusive video content from popular creators such as Lilly Singh Michael Stevens.
