NeoNova CEO Ray Carey shared the reasoning behind this new program. "Our affiliates are the go-to local providers for new technologies in their serving areas. We've been working with traditional video content and our ViewLocal(TM) platform for years, and we're excited to add a program that allows our affiliates to promote Sling TV's programming services," said Carey. "Not only will they be able to realize additional revenue, but they can continue to drive awareness with their customers about new services like Sling TV."
