You get national networks CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News, plus all the news that comes with local channels. News and politics: 4.5/5 Spectrum doesn’t offer the hotly debated Newsmax channel at its base price, but it has almost everything else news junkies crave. It’s not great, but it’s not awful either. You do get PBS, though, plus the regular Disney channel, Family Entertainment TV (FETV), and Discovery. Smithsonian’s out, too, and Science (you can get some of these with the Entertainment View add-on, but it costs $12 extra each month). You won’t get Disney Jr., Nat Geo Wild, Cartoon Network, or Nick Jr., unfortunately. ![]() The sports pack is a breezy $6 per month, which isn’t bad, but we’d still prefer the channels be in the standard package.įamily and education: 3/5 Spectrum TV also earns a passing grade for kids shows, but it’s nothing to write home. You may be eligible for various regional sports networks, but they almost always cost extra. You’ll get national games on the local networks and coverage from networks like TNT and FS1, but you’ll have to pay extra for goodies like MLB Extra Innings, NHL Center Ice, and the ESPN College Extra.

You get the big four-NBC, ABC, CBS, and FOX-plus The CW and Spanish-language channels. Local: 4/5 Spectrum does a great job of providing local channels throughout the hundreds of markets it covers.
