DirecTV is now offering three new genre-based streaming options for customers who want to access more content without paying a high subscription fee, the company said Thursday. Instead of getting an entire bundle of channels you’ll never watch, you can choose from low-cost news and entertainment tiers.
Following the release of its$70 MySports packagelast month, DirecTV is back with three new plans: MyEntertainment, MyNews, and MiEspañol. These new genre packages are available to customers as standalone options at an affordable price point, or you can bundle multiple genres together, all without signing up for a more expensive satellite TV plan. They’re à la carte, if you will.
Starting today, February 27th, 2025, customers can choose between any of the three new packages for only $35 a month. Depending on the package, you’ll get access to upwards of 40 channels, including Bravo, Fox, NBC, FX, Syfy, Food Network, and much more. Each package contains a variety of content from specific providers, like Fox, Walt Disney Company, Comcast, Univision, Warner Bros Discovery, and the A+E Networks, to name a few.
