Sling TV Will Air on ESPN (and Several Other Channels) for $ 20 a Month
They said it would never happen, but it’s here: you will soon be able to subscribe to the streaming version of ESPN (along with a few other channels) for $ 20 a month, no cable subscription required.
This particular service, dubbed Sling TV and announced today at CES, is provided by Dish. At launch, it will include TNT, TBS, CNN, Food Network, HGTV, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Disney, ESPN, and ESPN2. They say they will add other channels in the future in the form of additional packages of $ 5 each.
At launch, Sling TV will be available on Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Xbox One, Windows, OS X and LG smart TVs, with more devices hopefully coming in the future. It still contains ads, but if all you want is sports (or 24/7 news, or cartoons), this is a much cheaper way to get them.
We don’t have all the details yet, and Sling TV hasn’t launched yet, but it’s already incredibly enticing. You can read more at the link below and follow along – we’ll post more details as the service gets closer to launch.
