Skinny Tiers on Streaming Platforms

A skinny tier is a smaller, cheaper streaming TV package that contains fewer channels than a traditional cable bundle. One type of skinny tier is known as a genre pack, which specifically curated around a single category of content, such as news or sports. All skinny tiers aim to give customers more choice and flexibility for their streaming subscriptions. 
Don’t want to pay for a bunch of channels you never watch? As a lower-cost alternative to Signature Packages, Genre Packs are built to match the content you most enjoy, minus everything else. They include MySports with 20+ channels, MyEntertainment with 40+ channels, MyNews with 9+ channels, and MiEspañol with 60+ channels. You can mix and match the genres you want. MyEntertainment includes access to ad-supported Disney+ and Hulu at no extra cost.
