A YouTube spokesperson told the outlet it would offer most videos ad-free.
Google reiterated it has been testing this tier in several markets outside the U.S. Other perks, like offline downloads and background play, would also be restricted to the more expensive tier.
YouTube still hasnt offered a firm release date or pricing structure.
Other markets show that Lite was priced at half that of YouTube Premium in those markets.
That doesnt mean Premium Lite will cost $7 a month.
The streaming service last raised the cost of Premium for users outside the U.S. in September last year.
However, users expect something different on TVs than on mobile apps.
