By Kaya Yurieff

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- YouTube TV is here.


The service is targeted at those who don't want to pay for traditional cable packages. YouTube says its service is less than half the cost of an average cable subscription and can be canceled at any time.

The bundle includes shows from the major networks, as well as Bravo, FX, ESPN and Fox Sports. Users can also watch shows previously only accessible on YouTube Red, the company's ad-free subscription service, which also has original series and movies.



YouTube TV will compete with other streaming TV services like Sling TV and AT&T's DirectTV Now.

In February, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki? said consumers around the world watch one billion hours of YouTube every day and younger people don't want to watch TV through traditional channels.
