DIRECTV made streaming cable channels more affordable with last year’s introduction of Genre Packs. These pared-down, budget-friendly plans give customers the option to subscribe to the genre of channels they want, such as news channels in MyNews or sports networks in MySports.
Now, DIRECTV is making it even easier (and more affordable) to customize your live TV streaming setup. The company just announced another Duo bundle, which combines the MyNews and MyEntertainment Genre Packs into one affordable bundle plan.
The newest Duo: MyEntertainment + MyNews Genre Pack costs $74.99 a month, but right now, you can get the Duo for just $59.99/mo. for your first 2 months.* Like all DIRECTV plans, the Duo MyEntertainment + MyNews starts with a five-day free trial that you can use to check out the package* without paying. Get the free trial here.
What Channels Are In the Duo: MyEntertainment + MyNews Bundle?
The DIRECTV Duo: MyEntertainment + MyNews bundle delivers almost every major news channel and entertainment channel on the market. That means you’ll have access to broadcast news and other programming from the likes of CNN, Fox News, CNBC, and BBC, plus drama, sitcoms, and reality TV from networks like FX, Bravo, MTV, and HGTV. The package also carries local channels (FOX, ABC, NBC, and CBS), where available.
Even better? The Duo bundle includes HBO Max Basic With Ads, Disney+, Hulu, and AMC+ with Ads at no additional cost.** That’s a value of over $40 a month that you’re getting from DIRECTV.
DIRECTV MySports + MyNews Duo Bundle
If your viewing habits are primarily sports and news, consider DIRECTV’s Duo: MySports + MyNews instead. This one carries local networks (where available), most major cable sports channels like ESPN, FS1, TBS, and TNT, and everything in the MyNews plan. The bundle also gets subscribers the ESPN Unlimited Plan — a $30/month value — at no additional cost.**
