hensonIn an effort to provide its partners with an alternative revenue stream, YouTube announced today that it is officially launching a pilot program that enables its video stars to charge subscription fees to access their channels. Subscriptions will begin at $0.99/month, and every channel will be able to offer a 14-day free trial and discounted yearly rates. YouTube gives the examples of Sesame Street, which will offer full episodes through its paid channel, or UFC fans getting to watch classic fights. YouTube's list of its 53-odd pilot channels here.
