Sling TV does have some local channels available to stream — if you're in the right market, and if those channels are actually available.

One of the biggest questions when it comes to getting rid of cable and switching to a streaming service is whether you can still get your local channels. With Sling TV, the answer is somewhat complicated. Yes, you can get local channels on Sling TV. But it can depend on the channel, and it can depend on where you live.

Recommended Videos Here’s the deal: Sling TV streams available broadcasts from ABC, Fox, and NBC. But instead of Sling offering you your own local broadcast Network, it serves up multiple broadcasts from a set list of designated market areas, or DMAs. We strongly recommend checking out Sling’s page that lists which network is available from which market.

There’s a way around this, though, and that’s through something called AirTV. It’s Sling TV’s branded, over-the-air tuner that lets you connect an antenna to capture your local broadcast channels. Erect an antenna, connect the cable to the AirTV box, and it all ties in to your Sling TV app. You’ll scan for channels, which will then appear in your Sling TV guide. And that should actually get you more than what you get from any of the streaming services because it’s a proper over-the-air option.
