A week after DirecTV launched its first sports-only streaming package, Comcast unveiled a similar offering that adds news to the mix. The Xfinity Sports & News TV package combines over 50 broadcast, cable news and sports channels with Peacock, DVR storage and more.
Although Xfinity Sports & News is being widely marketed and reported as costing $70 monthly, there’s some extensive fine print attached. (With Comcast?? Can’t be.)
