Pluto TV
The era of on-demand streaming has conditioned users to expect that their favorite shows and movies from around the world will be available instantly at their beck and call. That convenience, though extraordinarily useful, comes at the expense of some of the spontaneity inherent to live television programming. Pluto TV tries to bring some of that spontaneity back without the hefty cable price tag.
Viacom-backed Pluto offers up around 250 live TV streams ranging from midday cable mainstays like Ink Masters to news and commentary from major outlets like CBS News, NBC News, and CNN. In addition to its live TV offerings, Pluto boasts a library of more than 1,000 on-demand movies and TV shows. Maybe the best part of Pluto is its lack of annoying usernames and accounts necessary for viewing. If you’re cool with ads, you can just visit the site and start watching.
Cost: Free with ads.
