Cutting the cord doesn't mean you have to cut your favorite news shows.
Sling TV doesn't just give you access to live TV and breaking news, but you can also stream your favorite news programs, like America's Newsroom with Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino, or The Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC.
Sling is a fully customizable TV package that starts with 40 channels, but customers can add-on more. But, what makes Sling different from watching cable the old-fashioned way is that there's no long-term contract.
What news shows are available on Sling?
Sling offers live TV on at least 40 channels, which includes live breaking news from FOX News, CNN, MSNBC, ABC News, and Bloomberg TV. Local news channels are also available in select markets. But, Sling offers far more than live TV.
