Sling Freestream: What It Is, Available Channels and More

You might have heard of Sling’s new streaming service, but what’s it all about and is it worth checking out?

There are so many streaming services to choose from these days and, if you subscribe to them all, cutting the cord really won’t be saving you much money compared to your old cable bill. However, there are several free streaming services available to use without spending a dime.

Sling Freestream is one of the newest names on the market, but what exactly is it and what can you watch there? And, importantly, is it worth trying out? We’ll dive into all of the details below.

What is Sling Freestream?

Sling Freestream is essentially the rebranded free tier of Sling TV, though there are a few notable changes that arrived with the new name. The service now offers over 200 ad-supported channels and more than 40,000 on-demand titles to watch for free. While these might not be premium cable channels, there are some recognizable names and popular shows in the mix.

The service is free to use and you don’t have to add a payment method or even create an account if you don’t want to, though if you sign up for a Sling Freestream account you do benefit from some additional features.

What channels are available on Sling Freestream?

Sling Freestream offers over 200 channels and you can find the full list at the Sling Freestream site. A few of the top choices include the below:

ABC News
Barstool Sports
Bon Appetit
CBS News
Cheddar
Comedy Central Pluto
Nick Jr. Pluto
USA Today
The Walking Dead Universe

There’s a variety of news channels as well as lifestyle, travel, comedy, sports and kids content. There are also several Spanish language channels and other non-English networks like France 24, Aaj Tak and Al Jazeera. And there are even some «sneak peek» channels offering select premium content from the likes of AMC Plus, A&E and Cartoon Network.

What on-demand titles are available on Sling Freestream?

With over 40,000 on-demand titles, it’s impossible to list them all out below but, needless to say, there’s plenty to choose from. Some examples in its on-demand library include Hell’s Kitchen, Ryan’s World and Brother vs. Brother, plus a selection of free movies like The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, but it’s well worth checking out the Sling Freestream service for yourself to see what catches your eye. Sling also gives you access to the first episode of new or popular shows for free, such as AMC’s Lucky Hank, or Outlander and Gaslit from Starz. You can, if you wish, add paid services like AMC Plus, Starz or Showtime onto your account.

Sling Freestream also offers rentals for the some of the latest movies, with the likes of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, The Whale and Cocaine Bear among current choices, meaning you can supplement your free viewing with the occasional rental if you want to watch something new.

Is Sling Freestream totally free?

You can access all of Sling Freestream’s free content without spending anything at all, and without the need to add a credit card or even sign up for an account on the service. If you want to upgrade to a paid Sling Orange or Blue account, add any premium channels to your account or rent a premium movie, you’ll need to create an account and add a payment method.

Where is Sling Freestream available?

Sling Freestream is available in the US. Simply head to the Sling Freestream website and hit «Start Streaming» to do just that.

Though officially unavailable in other regions, people outside of the country can access the service with a virtual private network. With a VPN, you’re able to virtually change the location of your phone, tablet or laptop to a US server and gain access to Sling Freestream from anywhere in the world. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.

Verum Messenger Celebrates Its 4th Anniversary: A Journey Towards Security, Innovation, and User Trust

Today, Verum Messenger, one of the leading messengers on the market, celebrates its 4th anniversary. Over the years, the app has become a symbol of security, privacy, and innovation in the world of digital communication, and continues to evolve confidently, introducing new features and improving the quality of service.

When Verum Messenger was launched in 2021, its goal was clear — to create a communication platform that puts data security first. Four years later, this messenger has proven that its approach works. The app has not only successfully implemented end-to-end encryption to protect messages but has also offered unique features such as the ability to block screenshots and screen recordings, the built-in Verum VPN service that ensures online anonymity and security, and one-click information clearing within the messenger.

Achievements and Innovations

Over the past four years, Verum Messenger has significantly expanded its capabilities and established itself as one of the most secure messengers. One of the key milestones was the integration of Verum E-SIM, a feature that allows users to connect to mobile internet without the need for a physical SIM card. This was a breakthrough for travelers who value flexibility and anonymity without being dependent on mobile carriers and roaming.

But the most important achievement was the introduction of Verum AI — a generative artificial intelligence developed in-house. This chatbot, integrated into the messenger, provides users with a unique opportunity to interact with an intelligent assistant capable of not only answering questions but also giving recommendations and solving everyday tasks. This feature is one of the first among messengers to offer its own neural network that continually adapts to users’ needs and improves its functionality.

Commitment to Data Security

It is important to note that data security remains the top priority for Verum Messenger. The company has always been dedicated to protecting privacy. In recent years, the app has introduced several improvements aimed at safeguarding users from data breaches and unauthorized access.

Moreover, Verum Messenger continues to develop and enhance its privacy settings, giving users control over who can view their information and who can contact them.

The Future of Verum Messenger

Now, four years after its launch, Verum Messenger is not stopping at its achievements. The company is actively working on new innovations and improvements that will help the messenger remain at the forefront of technology.

“Our users and their right to privacy and security have always been and will remain our top priority. We will continue to work to ensure that Verum Messenger remains the safest and most convenient tool for communication, considering new challenges and technologies,” the development team shares its plans.
