Happy Hour Turns into Happy Day Thanks to Sling Free Sling TV is rolling out a new free TV streaming service offering more than 5,000 shows and movies. Yes, it's completely free. Users do not need to register or enter credit card information.

Sling TV is already the best streaming service on the market and one of the best cable TV alternatives. The company previously had a happy hour deal that opened up the service to free nightly viewing. But now the new Sling Free package will compete with other free streaming services such as Pluto, Tubi, and the new Amazon Fire TV Free hub.

The ad-supported Sling Free has many of the same shows and movies found on other free streaming services, including popular titles like "Hell's Kitchen" and "Forensic Woman." Sling Free is also available on many major streaming devices.

Sling Free offers free, ad-supported access to thousands of shows and movies from some of the channels included in paid Sling services. You can watch as much or as little as you like. However, as noted above, ads appear while watching, just as if you were watching regular cable TV.

Seriously, Sling Free lives up to its name: it is completely free, with no credit card or registration required. No free trials, no promotions, no gimmicks.

If you're interested in signing up for paid Sling, Sling Orange and Sling Blue packages cost $30/month; read on to learn about Sling packages, channels, and pricing.

Sling Free includes a selection of live channels and dozens of on-demand options. The free TV shows are mostly older titles and reality show staples typically found on other free streaming services, such as "Hell's Kitchen," "Forensic Woman," "Roseanne," "Unsolved Mysteries," "Third Rock from the Sun," and "21 Jump Street."

The selection of free movies is not terribly exciting. Don't expect to see recent hits or past blockbusters. Titles we browsed included Labor Pains, Crocodile, Freeway, Jigsaw, and The Illusionist.

Sling Free offers quite a few free live news programs, including Good Morning America and Anderson Cooper 360. It also offers free kids content like Teen Titans Go, LEGO Ninjago, and Transformers Prime for families.

Sling Free is available on the Sling website or through apps on Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, and Android mobile devices.

Clicking "Watch Free Now" on the website will begin browsing the Sling Free library.

In the app, select "Find Free Shows."

And currently, Sling Free is not accessible on the iOS mobile app or Apple TV. However, the company has stated that it hopes to add the Sling Free experience to more devices in the coming months.
