Google Fiber has announced it will be ending traditional TV services for Kansas City beginning February 2022, affecting some Kansas City PBS viewers. It’s part of a larger move to sunset Google Fiber TV across the country and shift toward streaming.
Kansas City PBS viewers who are Google Fiber TV customers will receive a notification at least 90 days before discontinuation of services to ensure ample time in finding a new provider.
While Google may be "cutting the cord" and ending traditional TV service in favor of focusing on high-speed internet and streaming, they’re offering current customers a free route to upgrade to the streaming service Chromecast. With Chromecast equipment, you can sign up for streaming services like YouTube TV, fuboTV, Sling or Philo. Customers who do not upgrade to Chromecast will permanently lose access to Google Fiber TV in April 2022.
