How to Stream HLN Live Without Cable

Out of Sling's two base plans, Sling Blue is the bundle that has HLN. That's because Blue primarily holds more news and entertainment channels than Sling Orange. It's also one of the cheapest ways to stream HLN, especially with our 50% discount for the first month.

If you haven't yet cut the cord, DirecTV Stream would be the closest thing in the streaming world. It's nearly as pricey, but the wide channel line-up, multiple simultaneous streams, and the unlimited DVR makes it a more convenient way to watch HLN. On top of that, you can also enjoy other true crime channels like Investigation Discovery and True Crime Now, as well as your regular news channels. Wanting a cheaper option? DirecTV Stream has a slimmer MyEntertainment bundle we listed below.

Already have Hulu? Hulu + Live TV is an easy way to add live TV channels along with your on-demand plan. You can stream HLN, or similar channels like Investigation Discovery, Justice Central and American Crimes, alongside with various crime docuseries from ABC, FX, and Hulu itself. Compared to subscribing to another streamer, it's usually cheaper for Hulu users to swap to Hulu with Live TV.

With its huge channel line-up and intuitive interface, YouTube TV has quickly become a favorite streamer for live TV. There's no need to hunt down quality entertainment when you can just search for HLN the same way you would search in YouTube. Their line-up includes other exciting true crime channels like Investigation Discovery, American Crimes, and Law & Crime.

This newcomer to cord-cutting quietly launched in April 2024. It's about 90 channels for $39.99, without any additional fees like a local channels surcharge, because there are simply no local channels. What you won't find either are sports channels. And some of the channels are Spectrum channels like Spectrum Originals and Spectrum News.

With Philo having a similar channel lineup but costing $15 less, you probably need a very good reason to go for Spectrum TV Stream. But, it's always nice to have another option.

Spectrum TV Choice is an internet television service that is available only by call-in and only to Charter Spectrum internet customers. The channels available to you will depend on your location, but usually you can choose 10 more channels to add to your plan. Please be careful that after 30 days, you might not be able to change the list of 10 channels you choose.
