who owns sling

Sling TV is owned by Dish Network, which is a subsidiary of EchoStar Corporation. However, as of recent developments in 2024-2025, DirecTV is set to acquire Dish Network along with Sling TV from EchoStar. The deal involves DirecTV taking over Dish and Sling TV, assuming significant debt, with the acquisition intended to consolidate traditional TV services amid growing streaming competition. This means that while Sling TV is currently under Dish Network/EchoStar, ownership is transitioning to DirecTV through this acquisition.
