Sling Orange, the Sling TV channel package that includes ESPN, Disney, AMC, Comedy Central, and over 25 other networks, is getting $5 more expensive. Effective immediately for new customers and beginning next month for existing ones, the plan now costs $25 per month. Since Sling TV’s launch in early 2015, a move that kicked off today’s competitive wave of internet TV platforms, the bundle had been priced at $20. Sling Blue, the other Sling TV package introduced in 2016 with Fox, NBC, and other non-Disney channels, remains $25, so the two are now at parity. Both packages can be had together for $40 monthly.

  
    After several years at $20, Sling Orange now costs $25 per month. 
  
  

“Programming fees only go one direction, and that’s up!” Sling TV president Warren Schlichting wrote in a blog post on the price hike. That’s... pretty blunt and to the point, at least. Just like cable companies, internet TV services are blaming networks and content providers for passing along higher prices to customers. Sling Blue’s channel selection has also grown compared to what the original lineup was over three years ago.
