Sling Freestream Adds New York-Themed Channels for All Users Including Live News, Sports, Broadway Shows
Get ready to add a little New York flavor to your Sling Freestream experience! The service has announced that it is adding seven new channels, many of which feature Big Apple-themed programming. The additions bring Sling Freestream’s channel count to more than 275.
The additions include a recording of the world-renowned “Hamilton” on Broadway on Demand, “Good Morning Vogue” with a guest appearance by Harlem’s own Dapper Dan, and more. Sling Freestream also features top news shows like “ABC’s World News Tonight,” “Prime with David Muir” and the top stories from “Good Morning America.”
The new channels available now on Sling Freestream are:
-

Although many of these channels have a definite New York theme, they are available to all Sling Freestream users, no matter which market they’re in. They join the large and growing complement of free ad-supported TV (FAST) channels on Sling Freestream, not to mention the service’s more than 41,000 on-demand titles that users can access with just an email account and a valid password.
April was quite a month for Sling Freestream in terms of channel additions. Last week, the service brought on FAST channels devoted to pickleball, lacrosse, motorsports and more. The week before, Sling Freestream added nine channels with true crime, anime, and housing renovation content. Sling also expanded a deal with Amazon that will allow Freestream to be played on more generations of Amazon Echo Show devices in mid-April.
