You Can Now Use Sling to Watch Free On Demand and Subscribe to Individual Channels & PPV Events without a Subscription

Sling TV announced today that you can now use the service to watch free on demand shows, subscribe to individual channels like Showtime, and to purchase PPV events even if you don’t have a Sling Orange or Blue subscription.

Free On Demand Shows on Sling

Beginning with users on Roku, customers can access more than 100 hours of free TV shows and movies for free. The My TV section will include free shows and movies like “Wrecked,” “The Detour,” “Good Behavior,” “Flip or Flop” and more.

We expect Sling to roll it out to other platforms in the near future.
