Which exact plan preserves the required lineup without paying for a structure the household does not need?
Side by side
Current comparable facts
The useful comparison is not one headline price. Check the named Sling plan against the Hulu live-TV row, then account for missing channels and current plan terms.
| Measure | Hulu + Live TV | Sling TV |
|---|---|---|
| Current plan row | Hulu (With Ads) + Live TV | Sling Essentials |
| Recurring price | $89.99/mo | $19.99/mo |
| Advertised channel summary | 95+ | 10–50+ |
| DVR in current row | Unlimited | 50 hours |
| Simultaneous streams | 2 | 1 |
| Exact local lineup | Provider ZIP check required | Provider ZIP check required |
“Withheld” is not zero and does not mean unavailable. It means the current typed evidence cannot support publication.

Decision workflow
Check before choosing
No plan is labeled “best.” The better fit depends on the household's exact channels, location, and current terms.
- 01
Compare the exact recurring rows that remain inside their evidence windows.
- 02
Check ESPN, ESPN2, TNT, TBS, news, and family channels as separate records.
- 03
Verify local stations by ZIP on both official provider tools.

First-party evidence
