Sling TV is discontinuing its Sling Pass feature, which allowed users to purchase single-day, weekend, or weekly cable TV passes without a full subscription. The feature faced legal challenges from Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery shortly after launch, though a judge initially blocked Disney's injunction attempt.
Background
Sling TV, owned by Dish, introduced the Sling Pass in 2023 as a flexible alternative to traditional cable subscriptions, allowing à la carte channel access. Disney and WBD opposed the model, arguing it undermined their subscription licensing agreements.
