Watching Local Channels on Sling
With only a handful of exceptions related to Fox, NBC and ABC local DMAs, local channels are only available streaming with your Sling service when you have installed an AirTV device and connected an HD antenna.

Note: Local broadcast channel availability on Sling varies based on geography. Your ability to stream local broadcast channels on Sling through an AirTV device depends on antenna placement and an adequate signal from a local transmission tower (not provided by Sling, its parent company or affiliates.
Will college football games be blacked out?
Note: With the current game schedule in mind, Sling does not expect any blackout channels this season.
Some games may be blacked out due to local blackout rules, or because Sling doesn't have the rights to broadcast that game. Impacted subscribers will not be able to watch the game unless it is also on a local broadcast network, available either through your Sling subscription, or with an over-the-air antenna.
If you receive an on-screen blackout message when trying to watch a game on ESPN, you can watch your game on ESPN3, which is included with your Sling Orange subscription.
