Look out, America — it’s a Presidential election year! That means all eyes are on Iowa and New Hampshire as they gear up for the first primary races of the election season. And your eyes should be on Sling TV as the cheapest way to watch the election returns come in.
In a hurry? If you’re looking for news with a heaping dose of commentary on the side, Sling Blue has the best (and cheapest!) options for staying on top of elections, no matter what your political persuasion may be.
Table Of Contents
The Iowa Republican Caucus is going down on January 15, and the New Hampshire Primary is close on its heels January 28. Every 24-hour news channel will be covering election returns both nights. You can even watch the second CNN Republican debate on January 21 before the New Hampshire contest. Right, left, center, domestic, foreign — Sling‘s got views from all sides.
Watch Election Returns With Sling Blue
There are a couple of reasons why Sling Blue is recommended for viewers looking to stay on top of current events — such as elections. The first and biggest is that that’s where the news channels are.
While Sling Orange focuses on ESPN and Disney, Sling Blue has all the best news networks: Fox News, Bloomberg TV, CNN, HLN, and MSNBC. And that’s just the base package for $40.00/mo!
For more information on Sling Orange and Blue, their differences, and each one’s strengths, see our full Sling TV review.
Local Networks on Sling Blue
But you like your news more local-flavored? Sling Blue‘s got you covered there, too: it’s got ABC, NBC, and Fox included in select markets. If you happen to live in a market where they’re available, Sling will cost a few extra dollars a month.
If you don’t live where they’re available, Sling can still help you out. They will send you a free antenna just for prepaying a few months. There are more sweet deals on Sling-optimized (but not exclusive!) hardware that can integrate your antenna feed in with your Sling channels.

Caucus and Primary Results With the Sling TV News Extra
But wait, folks, that’s not all! Sling TV‘s main strength is its customizability. The base packages are cheaper, so you have room on your dial and in your budget to add on more channels — but only the ones you want.
In this case, we’re going to look specifically at the News Extra. Extras are small add-on bundles of 6-10 loosely related channels. There are Extras for Sports, Kids, and movies, and most of them are only $6/mo. What does the News Extra get you?
- BBC World News
- CGTN
- CNBC
- Fox Business
- Law & Crime
- NDTV 24×7
- News18
- Newsmax
- NewsNation
- Science Channel
That’s 10 additional news and information channels, with reporting and perspectives from around the world. It’s true that BBC World News may or may not carry the Iowa Caucus — but you can bet Newsmax and NewsNation will.
You can find more on all of Sling TV’s Extras and other add-ons on our guide to Sling TV Packages.
