DIRECTV STREAM introduces new slimmed-down channel plans
Each plan comes with a particular theme, and they all cost $40 per month or less.
The newest evolution of cable channel packages from DIRECTV STREAM is ready to launch. The company fought hard for the right to create such plans in its most recent carriage dispute with Disney, and was ultimately granted permission to use Disney-owned channels and streaming services in such plans. Now, DIRECTV is rolling out three new packages designed to allow customers to watch their way, the satellite and streaming company has introduced its MyEntertainment, MyNews, and MiEspanol channel packages.
Key Details:
- Each of the three channel packages costs just $40 per month or less.
- The MyEntertainment plan includes access to ad-supported Disney+ and Hulu at no extra cost.
- The launch follows the introduction of the MySports package in January.
The three new plans available from DIRECTV STREAM now each cost $40 per month or less. The MyEntertainment and MiEspanol will run $35 apiece monthly, and the MyNews package will be the most expensive at $40. Each offers a different lineup of channels to let viewers pay for only what they want to see.
The MyEntertainment package comes with 43 channels, including Bravo, Discovery, Food Network, and more. In addition, customers of this plan get access to Disney+ and Hulu with ads — an $11 per month value — at no additional cost. Max with ads will also be added to this plan for no extra monthly cost soon.
The MyNews plan includes 14 channels, including BBC World News, CNBC, CNN, MS NOW, and Newsmax.
The MiEspanol package comes with 64 channels, such as CNN En Español, Discovery En Español, ESPN Deportes, Fox Deportes, SONY Cine, and national Telemundo and Univision feeds, as well as ViX+.
In addition to these base channel plans, DIRECTV StREAM has unveiled the MyCinema and MySports Extra add-on packs. MyCinema comes with seven additional channels, such as Great American Family and Turner Classic Movies, for $10 per month. MySports Extra offers options like NFL RedZone and Willow TV for $13 per month.
The rollout of these new options from DIRECTV STREAM follows the launch of the MySports package, which includes access to 40 cable and broadcast channels and was introduced in January. That plan costs $70 per month, and is available in a wide range of DIRECTV STREAM markets now.
DIRECTV STREAM fought hard for the right to sell these packages, and they could be a game changer for the company. They allow viewers to better customize their cable channel experience, slimming down their packages until they’ve got the content they want without paying for channels they don’t watch.
