US EditionSling TV Offers Day Passes for Just $1 After It Beat Disney in Court
A New York federal judge ruled Disney failed to prove harm from Sling TV’s short-term passes, allowing discounted $1 Day Passes through Nov. 30, Sling said.
- On Nov. 17, U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian, Southern District of New York, denied Disney's request for a preliminary injunction, allowing Sling's short-term Passes to continue.
- Disney sued Dish in August, alleging Sling's Day, Weekend and Week Passes violated their carriage deal requiring monthly subscriptions.
- Judge Arun Subramanian found the distribution contract between Dish and Disney does not define a minimum subscription length and that the `subscriber` term covers Pass users, while ruling Disney showed no likelihood of success or irreparable harm.
- Sling announced Wednesday it will offer $1 Day Passes through Nov. 30 for new and returning customers, celebrating its recent court victory while the lawsuit continues.
- With the lawsuit continuing, Warner Bros. Discovery has also sued Dish, and Disney said it will pursue its claims at trial while Sling TV positions the ruling as a win for consumers.
