The goal of Stay in & Sling is to provide Americans with news, plus thousands of shows and movies for the whole family, with no paid SLING TV account required, as the nation confronts the COVID-19 crisis.
“‘Stay in & SLING!’ has been live for less than 24 hours, and we’ve already received a tremendous response as we put our platform to work providing American families with much needed free access to breaking news and entertainment,” said Warren Schlichting, group president, SLING TV.
The SLING TV free experience currently includes news from ABC News Live, FOX News and local FOX affiliates in 18 markets including: New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Detroit, Washington D.C., Atlanta, Houston, Phoenix, Seattle, Los Angeles and San Francisco. To view the full list of local markets, visit sling.com.
FOX News and certain FOX broadcast stations will remain on the SLING TV free experience temporarily, as the nation continues to monitor the rapidly evolving national emergency. The free experience will also stream the CNN Coronavirus Town Hall hosted by Anderson Cooper and Dr. Sanjay Gupta this evening at 8 p.m. ET.
