Sling TV launches a $5 Day Pass for commitment-free cable
Are you a TV watcher with commitment issues? Sling TV thinks it has the answer in the shape of its new one-day passes. The app-based alternative to traditional cable will sell you a $5 Day Pass that allows you to stream live TV (including sports)from any channel included in its Sling Orange plan for 24 hours. Sling Orange costs $46 per month and includes the likes of the Disney Channel and various ESPN channels (including ESPN 4K) as plan exclusives. You also get access to channels like TBS, TNT, CNN, AMC and Comedy Central that are shared across both Sling Orange and the more expensive Sling Blue plan. On paper, Orange seems like a good choice for sports fans, given ESPN's exclusive presence, but bear in mind that Fox Sports is a Blue plan-only channel. Sling TV's new Day Pass offering arrives just ahead of the new football season, and allows people who really want to watch a particular game without committing long term to do so. The streaming service is also introducing Weekend ($10) and Week ($15) passes for when you're hoping to catch multiple traditional Pay-Per-View events or binge a series on a single pass. You can access more channels by adding one of Sling's category-specific packages, like Sports Extra, News Extra or Entertainment Extra. Sling Extras cost $1 per package for a Day Pass, $2 for a Weekend Pass and $3 for a Week Pass. How much value you get from Sling's offering will depend on your viewing habits. If you find yourself buying lots of passes each month it's probably worth considering a standard Sling Blue or Orange plan, but if you're only interested in catching the occasional game, Sling TV's flexibility could be appealing.

Sling TV launches the Day Pass — watch your favorite channels for a day, weekend, or week with no monthly subscription
In an era of ever-increasing streaming prices, Sling is doing something totally different — they're offering an all-new viewing plan that costs just $5. The streaming service has launched the Day Pass, Weekend Pass and Week Pass, which offer viewers the opportunity to watch every channel on their Sling Orange tier for a day, a weekend, or a week, with no commitment and no subscription. Whether you just want to simplify your streaming or save some money by only paying for the days you watch TV, Sling TV's new passes may be the answer. With Day Pass, you can catch live sports like MLB, NFL, NBA and F1 racing on included channels like ESPN, TBS and TNT, binge your favorite prestige shows on AMC and BBC America, or the kids can marathon their favorite series on the Disney Channel or Nick Jr. (check out the complete list of available channels on Sling Orange here). Sling Orange offers a total of 34 channels, but if you're hoping to watch something offered in one of their Extras packages (Sports Extra, Entertainment Extra, Heartland Extra or News Extra), you can add those on for as little as $1/day. With a single Day Pass, you'll get a full 24 hours of access to Sling Orange and any Extras you choose. A Weekend Pass runs from Friday through Sunday. And a Week Pass lasts a full 7 days from the moment of activation. If the streaming wars have become too overwhelming and you're looking for a simple and comparably inexpensive solution to it all, Sling TV's passes are now available — and may just be the cheapest way to stream those can't-miss games. What is Sling Day Pass? Sling TV's new passes offer customers the opportunity to tune in to all the channels offered through Sling's Orange plan, which features loads of great sports and family-friendly channels, with temporary daylong, weekend, or weeklong access. What channels are included with Sling TV passes? Sling TV's new passes are only available right now with access to Sling Orange. Sling Blue, their other subscription plan, is not currently offered.
