Sling TV Launches Short-Term TV Subscriptions
Sling TV is changing how you watch TV!
They're offering mini-subscriptions, like a day pass, a weekend pass, or a week pass, instead of making you pay a lot every month.
This is great for people who just want to watch big sports games or special events.
The day pass is $4.99, a weekend pass is $9.99, and a week pass costs $14.99.
However, Sling TV doesn't have CBS, so you need a separate service to watch games on that channel.
This is all happening because fewer people are paying for regular TV, and more people are choosing to watch things online.
Sling TV introduces mini-subscriptions: Day Pass, Weekend Pass, and Week Pass.
Day Pass costs $4.99, Weekend Pass $9.99, and Week Pass $14.99.
The new plans target sports fans but could extend to other events.
Sling TV does not offer CBS stations; subscribers need Paramount+ for CBS sports.
The move is part of the ongoing cord-cutting trend in the pay-TV market.
