Craving Business News Without the Cable Drama? How to Sling Your Way to CNBC
Let's face it, folks, the days of wrestling a 50-foot cable cord through your house just to catch Jim Cramer rant about the latest meme stock are over. You've cut the cord, you're rocking the streaming life, but there's a gaping hole in your financial news fix – CNBC. Fear not, intrepid investor wannabes, because Sling TV can be your knight in shining… well, maybe not shining, but definitely Slinging armor!
But First, Why Sling?
Sure, there are a bunch of streaming services out there, but Sling TV offers a la carte options, which means you only pay for the channels you actually want. No more shelling out big bucks for a bunch of cooking shows you'll never watch (unless your idea of a culinary adventure is microwaving Hot Pockets).
Here's the Sling Lowdown on Snagging CNBC
The Key: Sling Blue + News Extra.
That's right, the base Sling Blue package doesn't include CNBC on its own. But fret not, grasshopper, because the News Extra add-on is here to save the day (and your investment portfolio... hopefully). For a cool $6 extra a month, you'll unlock a treasure trove of news channels, including the holy grail itself – CNBC.
Bonus Round: The News Extra package also throws in some other news outlets like Newsmax and BBC World News, so you can get your global spin on the market mayhem.
But Wait, There's More! (Because We Like Options Here at Sling-Ville)
Don't have Sling Blue? No problem! You can actually snag the Total TV Deal which includes both Sling Orange and Sling Blue, plus a bunch of other cool extras (including News Extra, of course) for a monthly price that might just surprise you.
