"Some days, it's great to be a sports fan. Like last Sunday, when in a 12-hour span, you got to see Rafael Nadal come back from two sets down at the Australian Open to win his 21st Slam title, and then Joe Burrow and the Bengals upset the Chiefs en route to the Super Bowl. Or yesterday, when a photographer's camera tumbled down a mountain at the Winter Olympics in Beijing."
"The gist of Sling is that it offers up some of the broadcast and a lot of the cable channels at a much lower price than what you'd get from, say, Xfinity or Spectrum. There are two basic packages, Orange and Blue, that have different channel lineups. If you're an NBA fan, Sling says you'll want to go with Orange, as that includes three ESPNs and TNT, while Blue includes FS1 and the NFL Network."
Live sports can produce memorable moments across tennis, football, and the Olympics, but traditional cable subscriptions remain expensive. Streaming live-TV services offer a middle ground for cord-cutters, combining access to live events with lower monthly costs. Many streaming options exist, none comprehensive, but several cover mainstream and niche sports. Sling TV provides reduced-cost access with two main packages: Orange and Blue. Orange favors NBA viewers with multiple ESPNs and TNT; Blue includes FS1 and the NFL Network. Both packages can be combined for $50 monthly. Blue carries NBC and Fox; neither package includes CBS or ABC. An $11 add-on offers NBA TV, MLB, and NHL networks.
