YouTube's live-stream will put you in the middle of Inauguration Day festivities

By Lulu Chang January 13, 2017

In seven days, one administration will leave Washington, D.C., and a new one will commence. On January 20, President-elect Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 45th president of the United States in a highly anticipated ceremony that has already drawn a media maelstrom. And of course, to help you stay abreast of all the action, YouTube will be live-streaming inauguration coverage.

The video platform has been key throughout the 2016 election cycle, broadcasting everything from the Democratic and Republican National Conventions to the various debates. Even on Election Day, YouTube was there to provide live coverage for hours on end as results poured in. So to cap it all off, YouTube will be closing out its political coverage (for this cycle) with coverage “from more news organizations than ever before” on Friday, January 20.

On the day of the inauguration, make your way over to YouTube and select your favorite newscaster to get live updates from the daylong event. Whether you’re a fan of NBC News, CBS News, Telemundo, C-SPAN, Bloomberg Politics, USA Today, or The Washington Post, you’ll be able to stay tuned in no matter where you may be.

Moreover, YouTube is promising “special coverage” from certain broadcasters who can make you feel as though you’re at the National Mall, even if you’re thousands of miles away. And with 4K quality, watching online just may be better than watching on cable.

Of course, YouTube isn’t the only digital platform from which you can observe all the action. Twitter (Trump’s social network of choice), will be partnering with PBS NewsHour to bring live coverage of Inauguration Day 2017 from 11 a.m. ET to 5 p.m. ET on January 20. Coverage will be brought to you by NewsHour managing editor Judy Woodruff, and correspondents John Yang and Lisa Desjardins will be reporting from the steps of the United States Capitol and from the National Mall, respectively.

YouTube TV: plans, pricing, channels, how to cancel, and more

The YouTube TV on a Roku TV.

When you think of streaming video, you think YouTube. And so YouTube TV — Google's live TV streaming service — very much just makes sense for a lot of people. Designed for those who want to cut the cord and ditch their cable or satellite subscriptions (and known in the industry as a multichannel video programming distributor, or MPVD), YouTube TV competes in the same arena as other streaming television services like DirecTV Stream (formerly known as AT&T TV Now and DirecTV Now), Sling TV, FuboTV, and Hulu With Live TV.

And YouTube TV offers a unique mix of features that make it very appealing, so much so that it's now the No. 1 service in the U.S. in terms of the number of paid subscribers, with some 5 million subscribers as of June 2022 — up some 2 million from the last time the service gave an update in October 2020. The popularity is due to several factors. YouTube TV is easy to use. It's got a selection of channels that's competitive with all its rivals. And the YouTube TV price is competitive, too. You're able to watch YouTube TV on pretty much any modern device. And the fact that parent company Alphabet (aka Google) has been marketing the heck out of it the past few years certainly hasn't hurt, either.
