The channel is part of a growing trend of free streaming news channels like CBSN, which launched in November 2014, and NBC News Now, which launched last May.
PlayStation Vue has been quietly adding channels to their line-up over the past few months. They added Baby First to all plans, then brought Tennis Channel, beIn SPORTS, and NHL Network to their Core, Elite, and Ultra plans this summer.
