Launching today in 24 metro markets, DirecTV's MySports package serves up roughly 40 sports-oriented channels, such as ACC Network, Big Ten Network, DIRECTV 4K Live, DIRECTV 4K Live 2, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNews, ESPNU, Fox Sports 1, Fox Sports 2, Golf Channel, MLB Network, NBA TV, NFL Network, NHL Network, SEC Network, TBS, TNT, TruTV, and USA Network.
MySports subscribers will also get access to local ABC, Fox, and NBC stations, with ESPN and "additional" local stations (presumably including CBS affiliates, which are currently missing from the list) "coming online soon."
Besides those sports offerings, MySports subscribers will get the run of MyFree DirecTV ad-supported streaming channels, including ACC Digital Network, Big 12, Fight Network, Fuel TV, Origin Sports, Pickleball TV, Players TV, Sports Grid, Stadium Stream, Surfer TV, Swerve Combat, T2, The Jim Rome Show, TNA, Torque by History, Waypoint TV, and Women's Sports Network.
The price? At launch, MySports is actually a decent deal at $49.99 a month, just $7 a month more than the $42.99 price point Venu had been eyeing for a similar skinny sports bundle.
But that's just a three-month promotional offer, provided you sign up by February 28; after that, the monthly price for MySports jumps by $20, to $69.99 a month.
That's quite a bit more than Venu Sports would have charged—then again, there is no Venu Spo

Sony has revealed a first proper look at Until Dawn, the movie adaptation of Supermassive's choose-your-own-adventure horror game. Rather than offering up a teaser or a trailer, the company has opted to unleash more of a vignette, with the film's writer and director explaining how their project differs from the game.
As mentioned during Sony's CES 2025 keynote last week, Until Dawn has a new story and different characters from the original work. Director David F. Sandberg (Lights Out, Shazam!) says the film has "sort of the same tone, the same vibe, but it expands on the universe."
In the game, the characters' fates are determined by your narrative choices, many of which lead to grisly deaths for them. There will be something similar at play here, as things start over and the characters get to try again after everything goes to hell, Sandberg explained. "Every time they come back to life, it's like they're in a new horror genre," the director added. "To survive, they have to make it until dawn."
It's an interesting attempt to replicate the structure of a video game, in which you can just start over if things aren't going your way. That said, the premise does make Until Dawn sound a little like the very fun
