About 100 of them, more or less, in the base plan, all for a single fee every month. It's as competitive a lineup as you'll find in live, streaming television (also known as linear TV in 2022), and that's just one of the reasons YouTube TV is the most popular service in the U.S.

There's a default list, which serves things up as YouTube TV deems fit. You also can change things to "Most watched," which will adjust channels by what you watch more often.

(Here's a direct link to get started.) On big caveat here, however: YouTube TV occasionally adds new channels. When that happens, they'll end up at the bottom of your custom list, and in an inactive state. That is, you have to manually enable them if you want to watch them.

Step 5: Uncheck any channels you don't want to appear. Also, you can rearrange the order of the channels by holding the handles on the right and then dragging up or down. And that, folks, is how you hide channels from your YouTube TV list.

It's not that they go away forever (you can add them back whenever you like), and, yes, you're still paying for them. It's just that they're not taking up room in your live guide, which is nice. (Interesting, though, is that YouTube TV will still recommend shows on your "Home" page even if you've hidden that channel.) Note that you can flip between any of the ordering options in your YouTube TV app.
