To get more revenue it ventured into the paid streaming service but did not lose the viewers that were watching it for free. Talking about affordability Youtube fits easily into your budget. It prefers keeping things simple, one price for one plan, unlike other streaming platforms that provide multiple prices and plan options and viewers do get confused while picking the right one for them.
Does YouTube TV have a DIY network?
A very simple Answer to this question is no, Youtube does not provide the DIY network streaming for now.
Youtube TV however is a totally paid service and the channels that stream on it are based on the viewership. Since DIY is a Mongolian network it’s viewership as compared to the English language Channels is still limited.
What is available?
English is an international language, it might not be the native language of 75% of people but a majority of the population can understand English. Ergo, Youtube TV mostly streams English language Channels.
Food and kids channels don’t really need a language so they are the easiest option when someone has to decide what channels to stream. Sports and news channels are also streamed on Youtube TV majority of these being English language Channels. Youtube is covering major broadcast networks just as ABC, NBC, food network, and many more.

Way forward
YouTube is looking forward to expanding it’s range of channels that can be streamed. It is trying to strike a deal with Disney, they recently failed to renegotiate their contract. Regional channels are not being streamed for now because they have a limited viewership, it will be costly to acquire their streaming rights and the revenue generated from that will be very little so little so much so that it might not even cover the acquiring cost of the channel.
Obviously the YouTube originals are included in the basic subscription. An attempt for overall entertainment of the viewers is being made. Youtube videos can also be streamed on TV. Subscribing to YouTube TV is just an addition of entertainment to the already existing free video surfing.
Whether to subscribe or not
Basically YouTube caters primarily to the USA based audience. Seems like YouTube is Experimenting with the US audience if all goes well it might venture into different regional and other countries as well and then the DIY network can be streamed on Youtube TV.
If you are looking for an alternative of your cable cord, I recommend Youtube TV, it will be easy on your pocket as well as provide you with entertainment.

Yes, Youtube TV is a paid service however it provides a free trail. So you can watch it for free for a limited period of time only. Other Youtube videos can be surfed for free but Youtube TV is paid.
