YouTube confirms it's eyeing use of subscription 'channels'

“We have long maintained that different content requires different types of payment models,” a YouTube spokesman told AFP.

“There are a lot of our content creators that think they would benefit from subscriptions, so we're looking at that.”

Talk of the Google-owned video sharing service one day charging for content surfaced in December of 2011 when YouTube unveiled a major redesign that showcases television-style channels.

The new layout set the stage for film or television studios to create pay channels at YouTube.

“We are trying hard to marry the best of TV and the best of online,” YouTube's vice president of product development, Shishir Mehrotra, said when the redesign was introduced.
