Sling TV's "new" free service

Sling TV has announced that Freestream, a live streaming service, has launched. It's on Roku now, and will be on other platforms soon.

But think for a minute. Sling TV already had a free tier. Sling TV offered over 160 channels of free content for some time now. I wrote about it in 2021, and again in 2022.

So, what's new?

Well, there are more free channels available. The nag to subscribe upon launch isn't there. That means it's simply an expansion of the existing free tier of Sling TV, although a welcome expansion.

Is it worth checking out? Of course. I previously said how much I liked the Sling TV free tier -- which is how it works with Air TV for non subscribers -- so an expansion of that is great.

If you want another good free streaming option, Freestream, the free portion of Sling TV, is a great addition to your Streaming Life.
