“The addition of Sling TV’s multicultural programming will be an excellent complement to the existing international offerings on X1 and will be attractive to our customers,” said Javier Garcia, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Multicultural Services for Comcast Cable. “Our customers are becoming increasingly diverse and this is a fantastic opportunity to quickly deliver even more customized and multicultural programming to them, on an X1 platform that’s smart, fast and easy-to-use.”

“Sling TV’s debut on Comcast’s X1 is another step forward in our promise to consumers to be available on their favorite platforms,” said Ben Weinberger, Chief Product Officer, Sling TV. “For the first time, millions of Comcast customers will have access to new multicultural programming options as well as the full suite of Sling TV programming.”

Pricing for Sling TV services on X1 will be consistent with current offers on other platforms. Sling TV’s multicultural packages start at $10 per month. All Sling TV packages will be available, giving customers the option to customize packaging with genre- and language-specific add-ons.
