Villanova fans aren't the only ones still celebrating last night's big win. The people at Sling TV have a little something to cheer about as well.
The company just announced that last night's March Madness finale is officially the most watched event in Sling TV history.
While exact viewership numbers aren't available, Sling TV claims that basketball fans were flocking to the streaming service throughout March Madness. In fact, during the University of Arkansas - Little Rock game, the service had a viewership spike of more than 300 percent between tip-off time and that final double-overtime buzzer.
However, last night's three-point buzzer beater bumped those numbers up even more. (And surpassed the previous record-holder, this year's College Football Playoffs.) Sling TV says that thanks to last night's finale, the service had a 1,140 percent increase in viewership between the tip-off of the first game to the moment where they cut down the Championship nets.
Sling TV is a streaming service that offers live sports, lifestyle, family, news, and information channels, as well as Video-On-Demand entertainment and much more, both at home and on the go -- and for only $20 per month. That fee will get you the company's "Best of Live TV" package, which features a total of 23 channels, including ESPN, TNT, TBS, AMC, Adult Swim, Disney Channel, Food Network, HGTV, Cartoon Network, and others. Add-on packages are available for sports fans, families, movie lovers, and more, for an additional $5 per month. The service even offers the option to add Cinemax or HBO for an extra $10 or $15 per month, respectively.
To use Sling TV, you'll need a web connection and one of the supported devices listed on the company's website. That lineup currently includes all Amazon Fire TV players, Roku players (the LT and higher), the Chromecast, Android TV, ZTE, and Channel Master devices, as well as iOS (8 and higher), Android (4.0.3 and higher), and Amazon Fire (Android 4.4.2+) portables. It even works with the Xbox One, Mac computers (Lion 10.7 and higher), and Windows computers (Windows 7 and higher). To find out more on how it works, check out Vincent Lam's Sling TV Review.
