If your primary reason to pay for live TV is to stay up to date, we think you’ll be pretty happy with what Spectrum has to offer.Įntertainment and lifestyle: 3.5/5 Spectrum TV’s lineup for movies, home improvement shows, reality TV, and true crime is just OK. You get national networks CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News, plus all the news that comes with local channels. News and politics: 4.5/5 Spectrum doesn’t offer the hotly debated Newsmax channel at its base price, but it has almost everything else news junkies crave. It’s not great, but it’s not awful either. You do get PBS, though, plus the regular Disney channel, Family Entertainment TV (FETV), and Discovery. Smithsonian’s out, too, and Science (you can get some of these with the Entertainment View add-on, but it costs $12 extra each month). You won’t get Disney Jr., Nat Geo Wild, Cartoon Network, or Nick Jr., unfortunately. The sports pack is a breezy $6 per month, which isn’t bad, but we’d still prefer the channels be in the standard package.įamily and education: 3/5 Spectrum TV also earns a passing grade for kids shows, but it’s nothing to write home. You may be eligible for various regional sports networks, but they almost always cost extra. You’ll get national games on the local networks and coverage from networks like TNT and FS1, but you’ll have to pay extra for goodies like MLB Extra Innings, NHL Center Ice, and the ESPN College Extra. Sports: 3/5 Spectrum TV is only passable when it comes to sports. You’ll miss out on a few smaller local networks in some areas, such as Antenna TV and Estrella TV, but we have no major complaints. You get the big four-NBC, ABC, CBS, and FOX-plus The CW and Spanish-language channels. Local: 4/5 Spectrum does a great job of providing local channels throughout the hundreds of markets it covers. Your exact channel lineup depends on where you live (and some areas even have unique package options), so enter your address and check the channel guide as you decide. You get more than 125 channels with TV SELECT and more than 140 channels on MI PLAN LATINO, but those are your only package options. Spectrum TV is a good choice for basic TV viewing on a budget, especially if you bundle with home internet. There’s no way to get Lifetime channels, though, and there’s also no TBS, History, A&E, AMC, IFC, or Sundance. You can also get TLC, Grit, USA, and three Hallmark channels at that price. We like that Paramount and Bravo are included at the base package price. There’s no way to get HLN or CNN with Fubo, though, and you’ll have to pay an extra $3 per month for the News Plus add-on if you want coverage from smaller outlets including ROI, Cheddar News, TYT, and i24 News.Įntertainment and lifestyle: 3/5 From true crime documentaries to love stories and blockbuster hits, Fubo has a lot to offer.

News and politics: 3.5/5 Fubo does a little better when it comes to news. There’s even a channel that’s all Bob Ross, all the time. plus Animal Planet and Universal Kids at the first tier. You get Disney, Disney Jr., Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. Other add-ons for sports include MLB.TV ($25 per month), NBA League Pass ($15 per month), Adventure Plus ($5 per month), and more.įamily and education: 2.5/5 Fubo is adequate (but not great) when it comes to programming for kids.

You also get TUDN channels, beIN SPORTS channels, and BIG NETWORK channels, but no TNT. Sports: 3.5/5 Fubo is a great choice for regional sports networks in addition to popular favorites including FS1, Golf, ESPN and ESPN2, and NFL Network, all of which are available on the first-tier. You’ll also miss out on CNN, The CW, A&E, and HBO. There’s no PBS or C-SPAN though, and some markets don’t have NBC or ABC. Local: 3.5/5 Fubo offers more local channels than most of its competitors in the streaming space, and that means home games, primetime hits, and local news. This handy channel guide from Fubo is an easy way to see whether your shows and games are available. Fubo is a decent all-around replacement for cable TV, but it really shines when it comes to regional sports.
