Sling continues to add more Free TV Channels to Freestream
Sling TV has just added another 8 channels to its Freestream service. That’s their FAST service, with over 300 channels of free live TV. And about 41,000 on-demand titles, all for free.
The new channels added to Sling’s Freestream service today, are mostly sports related. You’ll find them all down below:
- Ace TV
- Pickle TV
- The Red Green Channel
- B – FidoTV
- Lacrosse TV
- MotoAmerica TV
- Broadway on Demand
- World Poker Tour
These aren’t the big sports like the NBA, NFL, NHL and others. These are instead a bit more niche and those that likely can’t garner a huge media rights deal like the NBA or NFL. But hey if you’re into these sports, they are not free.
What is Sling Freestream?
You might be wondering what is Freestream? It’s a free service from Sling TV, that has a bunch of great content on well over 300 channels that are streaming 24/7. From sports, to news (and local news), to entertainment and everything in between, it’s all here on Freestream.
This is just the latest for FAST channels. Which are Free Ad-Support TV channels. Basically, this is all the content that no one else wanted to license for their ad-supported services, and so now Sling TV (among other providers) can license it onto Freestream. It’s free because it is ad-supported, so they make money from the ads to pay for the licensing and to make a profit. It’s a new thing that we’re seeing a lot of services do, including Pluto TV, Tubi and others.
It’s a pretty good service, with a lot of content available. Sure, the majority of it is not new content, and is generally quite older. But this is free content, so it’s pretty hard to complain here. But it’s a good way to add more content to your TV watching, without forking over more money.
