Sling TV’s new ads pioneer Internet TV over the ‘bullies’ that are traditional TV providers

Dish’s Sling TV has just launched its latest flurry of ads, pioneering Internet TV over traditional ways of accessing television. The ads make it clear: television providers are ruthless, forcing customers into long-term contracts, have too many hidden fees, and offer poor customer service. That’s why Dish thinks you should choose Sling TV.

Sling TV offers access to 20 live TV channels, including ESPN, one of the few channels keeping traditional TV providers in business. Sling TV also touts a massive video-on-demand library for only $20/month.

The irony is that Sling TV is a service provided by Dish, meaning Sling TV users could still see awful customer service, but without the egregious contracts and astronomical hidden fees. It goes without saying: Internet TV will be the new medium for entertainment on your television, but we still have a little ways to go before it becomes commonplace.

That day will come sooner than later, though. Sling reported having 250,000 subscribers signed up since its launch earlier this year.
