I was attempting to sign up for day pass this morning and received this message in the chat when attempting to get an agent because the day pass links would not work:

"An Important Update Regarding Day Passes Sling was built to give our customers the ultimate control over their entertainment, and Sling Passes delivered on that promise for millions. Though Sling Passes are no longer available, we look forward to continuing to innovate and showing our customers new ways to experience the content they love"

It would have been nice if they had announced and removed the links before discontinuing the service. That was frustrating.

I believe the current contract between Dish and Disney expires this year, likely this month.

Dish/Sling would want:

1. Access to ESPN Unlimited (others already have them)
2. Unbundle ESPN from other Disney channles (YouTube TV and DirecTV already offer sports only packages)

Disney/ESPN would want:

1. Carriage fee increase
2. Discontinue day pass

It appears that the day pass program is already terminated.

Are Sling/Disney going to enter into a new contract soon?

If so, are we going to see a new bundle and/or price increase?
