@slinganswers @Sling the only news source I pay attention to is @NewsNation and I haven’t been able to get it for over a week AND I pay extra to have it. Did negotiations go bad? I miss @BrianEntin @danabrams @TVAshleigh @EVargasTV @MarniHughesTV and the rest of the gang (Source)

Hey @NewsNation we are not able to watch you on @sling right now. Apparently, there’s a tech issue? Disappointed, missing watching Blue Bloods on this rainy Saturday in Central Florida. (Source)

Since people are unable to watch NewsNation through Sling TV, they are looking for alternatives to watch it anyway. So, here are some options that you can check out.

If you want to keep watching the news channel, you can get Level News subscription for $5.99. It is a platform where you can find various news channels including NewsNation.
