is a major shift for the package, which was rolled out in the 1990s and quickly became a subscription driver for DirecTV as the satellite operator was on the rise.

On Primetime Channels, the Sunday Ticket-Redzone bundle will cost $389 during the presale, compared the regular price of $489.
Christian Oestlien, VP of Product Management, YouTube TV and Connected TV, said features on YouTube TV are being incorporated into Sunday Ticket, including a “multi-view” option to have multiple games on a single screen. Subscribers will also be able to access highlights of key plays, he said, and additional shopping, fantasy sports and data elements are in the works.
YouTube parent Alphabet disclosed last summer that YouTube TV had passed 5 million subscribers, making it one of the top pay-TV providers in the U.S.
