DIRECTV has introduced a new MyNEWS genre pack — a smaller, specialized add-on that focuses on news channels (local and national) at a lower price point than a full cable lineup. The idea is to give viewers a more affordable, customized option without paying for a huge bundle of channels they don’t watch.
Key points:
The MyNEWS pack bundles popular news networks together.
It comes with discounted pricing, making it cheaper than traditional full channel packages.
This reflects a trend where big TV providers are offering smaller, more focused channel bundles to compete with streaming and cord-cutting setups.
For cord cutters, this kind of move shows how traditional services are adapting — but it also underscores the importance of comparing cost vs. actual viewing needs before adding paid packages.
💬 Question:
If you only cared about news channels, would you subscribe to a smaller pack like this, or stick with free/streaming options?
