EDITOR BRIEF
Dish-owned Sling TV is ending its Sling Pass feature, which let users buy one-day, weekend, or week-long access to channels like ESPN and CNN without a monthly subscription. The feature launched last year but quickly drew lawsuits from Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery, though Disney failed to win an early injunction.
COMMENTARY
The move suggests media companies remain wary of flexible TV bundles that could undermine traditional monthly pay-TV economics. Even when courts do not immediately block such products, legal pressure and partner resistance can make short-term access difficult to sustain.
