Sling Pass Discontinuation
Sling TV, owned by Dish, has ceased offering its Sling Pass feature. This service previously allowed customers to buy one-day, weekend, or week-long access to cable television programming, including channels such as ESPN and CNN, without requiring a full monthly subscription.
Background and Legal Challenges
The Sling Pass feature was introduced last year. Shortly after its launch, Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery initiated legal action against Sling TV concerning the offering. Although a federal judge denied Disney's request for a preliminary injunction to block the feature, Sling TV has now discontinued the service.
Company Statement
Sling TV stated on its website that "Sling was built to give our customers the ultimate control over their entertainment, and Sling Passes delivered on that promise for millions." The company added, "Though Sling Passes are no longer available, we look forward to continuing to innovate and showing our customers new ways to experience the content they love." This message was also sent to customers.
