Why should you add Sling TV on Fire Stick?

In addition to being known as the original app-based cable replacement service, Sling TV is a fraction of the cost of competitors like YouTube TV and Fubo TV. Sling TV also offers subscribers the chance to pick from a handful of plans, depending on what type of live content you're interested in streaming, which will only enhance the streaming capabilities of your Fire TV Stick.

Specifically, the Sling Orange plan costs $35 and features 32 live channels, including ESPN, CNN, BBC America, and AMC. The Sling Blue also costs $35 per month but includes 47 live channels, including BET, Bravo, and Cartoon Network. Because each plan features a different selection of channels, you can also opt to subscribe to both for a joint fee of $50 per month.

If you don't already subscribe, you can sign up for a Sling TV free trial to see which plan works best for you.
