Sling TV has launched a live beta multistream service for $20 per month, including live and on-demand content from Fox Networks Group brands and the ability to stream on up to three devices, simultaneously in or outside the home.

“Since launch, our customers have asked for more channels and multiple streams,” said Roger Lynch, CEO of Sling TV. “We believe our new multistream service, anchored by a strong line-up of Fox content, including top franchises like Empire and The Americans on FOX and FX, as well as access to Major League Baseball in 15 markets, including the New York Yankees, is the first step in answering their requests. We look forward to incorporating our customers’ feedback throughout the beta phase as we evolve the multi-stream service to include additional channels, features and functionality.”

Multistream customers also will have access to Fox’s portfolio of regional sports networks and their popular local NBA and MLB telecasts. This includes select NBA playoff telecasts and, for the current baseball season, the reigning World Series Champion Kansas City Royals, along with the New York Yankees, St Louis Cardinals, Detroit Tigers, Arizona Diamondbacks, Atlanta Braves, Cincinnati Reds, Cleveland Indians, Los Angeles Angels, Miami Marlins, Milwaukee Brewers, Minnesota Twins, San Diego Padres, Tampa Bay Rays and Texas Rangers. Availability is subject to local territory restrictions.

The move continues the company’s quest to bolster its content proposition.
