ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Today Sling TV launched a live beta multi-stream service for $20 per month, including live and on-demand content from Fox Networks Group brands and the ability to stream on up to three devices simultaneously in or outside the home. In addition to Fox, the beta service’s base and “Extra” packages include content from the following multi-stream programmers: AMC, A&E, HBO, Turner, Scripps, EPIX and Univision. Available today, Sling TV’s new beta service can be purchased with or without the current Sling TV single-stream service atwww.sling.com.

New Sling TV customers can trial the multi-stream service free for seven days and with no annual contract or long-term commitment at www.sling.com. Additionally, Sling TV’s single-stream service can be purchased with or without the new multi-stream service for $20 per month.

"Since launch, our customers have asked for more channels and multiple streams. We believe our new multi-stream service, anchored by a strong lineup of Fox content, including top franchises like 'Empire' and 'The Americans' on FOX and FX, as well as access to Major League Baseball in 15 markets, including the New York Yankees, is the first step in answering their requests," said Roger Lynch, CEO of Sling TV. "We look forward to incorporating our customers' feedback throughout the beta phase as we evolve the multi-stream service to include additional channels, features and functionality."

Channel lineup

The new "Best of Live TV" multi-stream service includes content from FOX Broadcasting, FOX Sports, FX, National Geographic and other popular networks from AMC, A&E, Turner, Scripps and Univision.
