Get a Month of Sling TV for free for Cyber Monday

sling tv cyber monday deal 2020

If you've been able to make it back to your parent's house this holiday, there's one comforting thing that they always have on hand. Yes, great food, but besides that, cable. With younger generations turning to streaming services for their entertainment (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, HBO to name a few), it's hard to justify the bill for your cable subscription. But suppose you long for the good old days of cable. In that case, Sling is offering a fantastic Cyber Monday deal
where you can buy one month of the streaming service and get one month entirely for free. That means all the device versatility of streaming with all the choice of cable. We also have plenty of other fantastic Cyber Monday streaming deals such as this Hulu Cyber Monday deal available right now that gets you Hulu for a year for under $25.

If you foresee yourself hunkered down on the couch for the next couple of months (which many of us do), this is a Cyber Monday sale that you can't pass up. Sling is already a great value at only $30 per month. Now, with this deal, you're getting two months at half the price! That's over 50 channels and thousands of movies for only $15 a month for the first two months! If you need it broken down further, that's 30 cents a channel!
How does Sling TV work?
The great thing about Sling is, the company takes all the good cable channels and bundles them up, getting rid of all the filler. The way it works is this. There's a Blue and an Orange package. Both packages come with no contracts and ten hours of free DRV.

We may reminisce about the days of walking around with our over-the-ear headphones, Walkman, CD player, or MP3 player. Although the days and media have changed, that doesn't mean our love for music and finding new sounds have to follow.

There are at least 1,000 songs uploaded to Spotify, Apple Music, Google Music, and more every hour of the day, according to Hypebot. When you crunch the numbers, that’s approximately 24,000 songs every day and approaching 1 million tracks every six weeks. How does one navigate such a wasteland -- and wonderland -- of audio?
