Sling TV discontinues its short-term cable pass options

Dish-owned streaming service Sling TV has officially ended its Sling Pass program, a feature that previously allowed subscribers to purchase access to cable programming for limited durations. According to reports from The Desk, the service, which was introduced last year, provided users with the flexibility to buy one-day, weekend, or week-long passes to access live television content without committing to a full monthly subscription. The decision to phase out these short-term options marks a shift in Sling TV's strategy as it moves away from pay-per-use models. While the company has not provided a detailed explanation for the removal, the move simplifies its current subscription offerings. Users who previously relied on these passes for specific events or temporary viewing needs will now need to explore standard monthly plans to continue accessing the platform's channel lineup.
