EASY STREAMING
First up is a popular service called Sling Freestream.
This is the ad-supported free streaming library tucked inside Sling TV app.
It’s easy to miss because Sling TV itself is a paid service – but there’s no cost to enjoy Sling Freestream.
And this week, Sling Freestream is adding six new channels.
The list includes:
123GO
5-Minute Crafts
Bright Side
Life Minute TV
Slick Slime Sam
Teen Vee
And if none of those take your fancy, there’s still plenty of reason to enjoy Sling Freestream.
The service has a vast library of free channels, now numbering over 430.
And Sling says that its catalogue of on-demand content contains upwards of 40,000 movies and TV shows.
You can find Sling Freestream by downloading the regular Sling TV app through the Amazon App Store on your Fire Stick.
GOING LOCAL
Next up is another popular free app called Local Now.
