Sling TV launches Sling Latino with top Spanish channels

Sling TV is launching the Sling Latino brand, a live and on demand, over-the-top streaming service, giving Spanish-speaking and bilingual viewers more choice in TV content. Starting Thursday June 4th, viewers can select from two base packages, Paquete Total (22 channels for US$12 per month) or Paquete Esencial (16 channels for US$7 per month), each with live and on-demand content ranging from sports and general entertainment to movies and family programming.In addition to Paquete Total and Paquete Esencial, Sling Latino is launching with two packages featuring popular channels from Colombia and Spain. “Whether viewers are solely interested in Spanish-language programming or are looking to supplement an English line-up with a few Spanish channels, Sling Latino is a flexible, affordable and mobile way to connect viewers with the best of Latino programming. Providing this connection remains fundamental to who we are, and we have been eager to give Hispanic viewers a new and contemporary way to watch Spanish-language TV,” said Roger Lynch, Sling TV CEO.The announcement follows on the heels of Sling TV’s launch of two Spanish language add-on packs for US$5 each per month, Deportes Extra (which recently expanded to include ESPN Deportes) and Películas & Novelas Extra. Both packages require a subscription to the Best of Live TV English core service and are designed to meet the contemporary viewing needs of bilingual millennials.
