The live TV streamed online market is getting more crowded by the day with six new services planning to release in late 2016 and early 2017 and now C Spire joining the rush.

C Spire is a regional ISP based in Mississippi offering a range of products including a traditional live TV and Internet service in 10 Mississippi cities.

Now C Spire plans to launch a Sling TV-like service that they hope will help them stand out.

Although they have not released all the details about the new soon-to-be-released service, we know the following:

Skinny Channel Packages

They say you will be able to subscribe to innovative Skinny Packs. Skinny Pack customers will subscribe to a base package of core channels including locals and many of your cable TV favorites. Additional Skinny Packs will be available in packages of 5-10 channels organized into genres such as movies, lifestyle, music & trends, documentary, news, etc.

They say more details on packages and price will come closer to the release date.

Devices

They claim to support devices such as Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, PC, Mac, iOS, and Android.

Their blogpost was made in August promising more details in the weeks to come. It has been a bit since the announcement but C Spire did reach out to Cord Cutters News via Twitter this week so we are assuming they are getting closer to a launch.
