Sling TV Discontinues One-Day Cable Passes

Sling TV, owned by Dish, has decided to discontinue its Sling Pass feature, which allowed users to purchase access to cable TV programming for a single day. This feature, introduced last year, included options for a day pass, a weekend pass, and a week-long pass, enabling viewers to enjoy channels like ESPN and CNN without committing to a full monthly subscription. However, shortly after its launch, Sling TV faced legal challenges from Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery regarding Sling Pass. A federal judge ultimately denied Disney’s request for a preliminary injunction to halt the feature.

In a statement, Sling TV emphasized its commitment to providing customers with control over their entertainment, noting that Sling Passes fulfilled that promise for many users. While the Sling Passes are being phased out, the company expressed enthusiasm for continuing to innovate and offer new ways for customers to enjoy their favorite content. Customers have also received notifications regarding this change.
