Sling TV, the first service to launch a cable channel package via the internet, has was named the best live TV streaming service of 2024 by U.S. News & World Report. The service which differentiated itself both via pricing (offering services starting at $40.00 per month) and by allowing users to add channel packages according to their interests, has a ton of competition including Hulu with Live TV, YouTube TV, Fubo TV, and DirecTV Stream.
Besides offering a way to get cable channels Sling TV also integrates free internet-based streaming services into its grid. It is also the only service that fully integrates antenna-based channels into its program grid via the Air TV tuner. The Air TV Tuner is needed for users who wish to receive broadcast networks if they live in a market where they are not provided via the base service. But full integration of broadcast TV pulls in a lot more than the big four networks ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox. Depending on market size and accessibility one can bring in 40 or more channels over the air. Cable channels include ESPN, CNN, NFL Network and more.
“Our mission has always been to deliver a comprehensive, flexible and affordable streaming solution,” said Gary Schanman, executive vice president and group president, DISH Video Services. “This honor from U.S. News & World Report solidifies our position as the leading streaming option for viewers who want quality, customization and value.”
Sling TV is available on all major streaming platforms as well as via computers via browsers.
