Sling TV Discontinues One-Day Cable Passes
Dish-owned Sling TV has discontinued its one-day cable passes, known as Sling Passes. These passes allowed users to access channels like ESPN and CNN without committing to a full-month subscription. The feature was introduced the previous year with options for day, weekend, or week-long passes but faced legal challenges from Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery shortly after launch. A federal judge had previously denied Disney's request for an injunction against Sling Passes. In a statement on its website, Sling TV emphasized that it aimed to give customers control over their entertainment choices through the feature. The company expressed commitment to innovation despite ending the service and informed users of the change via email. This move reflects ongoing tensions between streaming services and traditional media providers regarding content access models.
