Sling TV Coming First on Xbox One with Exclusive Offer
Microsoft announced today that "Sling TV", an all-new over-the-top, television service that delivers live sports, lifestyle, family, news and information channels, Video-On-Demand (VOD) entertainment, and the best of Internet video, will soon be available on Xbox One for $20 per month.
With Sling TV, there’s no commitment,
contract, credit check, hardware installation, or hidden fees. Confirmed
channels include ESPN, ESPN2, TNT, TBS, Food Network, HGTV, Cartoon
Network, and Disney Channel with more to come. And Xbox One will be the
exclusive gaming console when it launches in the coming weeks.
”Xbox is onboard as
the first gaming console where Sling TV will be available,” said Bassil
El-Khatib, vice president of Sling TV. “We created the live Internet TV
service for millennial consumers underserved by the pay-TV industry. One
of the keys to reaching this audience is being on the devices they use,
and we know millions of consumers are turning on their Xbox every day
to access content they love.”
“We’re
thrilled to partner with Sling TV as they bring this exciting new
service to life, and we look forward to launching the Sling TV app on
Xbox One in early 2015 as the first gaming console where the service is
available,” said Mike Nichols, Corporate Vice President, Marketing for
Xbox. “We’re committed to bringing great entertainment options to gamers
and our relationship with Sling TV is an important milestone in that
journey and in offering more choices to our Xbox fans.
