TNT on DirecTV Stream Premier

The most cable-like live TV package to date, DirecTV Stream Premier carries every possible channel you can think of.

Meanwhile, the entertainment department has premium networks like HBO, Starz, Cinemax, and Showtime.

All this comes to a hefty $160/month, which seems like a lot for a cord-cutting service, but with features like unlimited screens and DVR, it's worth considering if you have the budget to spare.

TNT on Max + B/R Sports Add-on

The Max + B/R Sports add-on combines Max's arsenal of on-demand titles from Warner Bros., HBO, DC, and Cartoon Network with The Bleacher Report's wide coverage of live sporting events, including March Madness, the NBA Playoffs, The Stanley Cup Playoffs, and various MLB matches. You could say it's an extension of TBS, TNT, and truTV sports as it airs select (not all) games from those channels, but it also covers so much more, including other sports like golf, cycling, and MMA. Since October 2023, B/R Sports has been added to all Max plans completely free of charge, but once the promo ends, you'll have to pay $10/month on top of your Max subscription to enjoy B/R content. And of course, blackout restrictions apply.

TNT on Venu (launching date TBA)

There is a newcomer to the world of live TV that we thought to include: Venu Sports is a new streaming service set to launch in fall 2024 which will have 16 sports channels for $42.99. It comes as a joint venture between Disney, Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery. Depending on your needs and budget, there is a rather strong argument to holding out until Venu launches. The launch date was briefly set for August 23rd before being moved to "fall 2024".
