“At DirecTV, we’re breaking up with the one-size-fits-all bloated cable bundles of the past by delivering new ways for consumers to enjoy the content they love at the best value. Our new Genre Packs and Mini-Packs provide lower-priced options, allowing customers to pick and choose what they want to watch and when they want to watch it,” said Vince Torres, chief marketing officer at DirecTV.
The three genre packs – MyEntertainment, MyNews and MiEspañol – are available satellite-free via popular streaming platforms starting at $34.99 a month. Consumers of any Genre Pack will also gain access to 100+ channels available through MyFree DirecTV.

DirecTV plans to add Max Basic with Ads soon at no additional cost. MyEntertainment is available for $34.99/month.
MyNews delivers coverage of US and global news from more than 10 national channels and select local channels where available, including CNN, CNBC, Fox News Channel and MSNBC. MyNews is available for $39.99/month.
