Sling TV Debuts Live Multi-Stream Service with Fox Partnership in Place

ENGLEWOOD: Sling TV has launched a beta multi-stream service, available for $20 per month, including live and on-demand content from Fox Networks Group channels.

At launch, the service offers programming from FOX Broadcasting, FOX Sports, FX and National Geographic, as well as AMC, A&E, HBO, Turner, Scripps, EPIX and Univision. The new offering provides the ability to stream on up to three devices simultaneously in or outside the home. Sling TV’s current single-stream service, which includes content from Disney and ESPN Networks, remains available as well.

Roger Lynch, CEO of Sling TV, said: “Since launch, our customers have asked for more channels and multiple streams. We believe our new multi-stream service, anchored by a strong lineup of Fox content, including top franchises like Empire and The Americans on FOX and FX, as well as access to Major League Baseball in 15 markets, including the New York Yankees, is the first step in answering their requests. We look forward to incorporating our customers’ feedback throughout the beta phase as we evolve the multi-stream service to include additional channels, features and functionality.”

Fox Networks Group’s president and COO, Randy Freer, said: “We’re proud to partner with Dish and Sling TV to offer our brands FOX Broadcasting, FX, National Geographic and FOX Sports as part of Sling TV’s multi-stream service. This flexible platform, which allows viewers to access our industry-leading programming, ranging from Empire to American Crime Story, the World Series, the Super Bowl and our massively popular local sports, at home or on the go, reflects our commitment to providing the consumer with a better and more seamless TV experience.”
