Part 2/8:
In a notable move, Sling TV is increasing the cost of its subscription plans by $5.99, bringing the total cost to $46 per month effective December 20. This will affect both the Sling Orange and Sling Blue plans. This new price hike comes after a 22-month period without changes, marking a notable increase in a market where both cable and streaming services are regularly upping their prices.
Not surprisingly, Sling TV is not alone in raising their prices. Major players like Hulu + Live TV, fuboTV, and others have followed suit in response to rising content costs as networks and content creators demand more for their programming. These price hikes often translate the growing operational costs, including inflation in labor and production.
