How to Watch TNT Live Without Cable
The only way to watch the TNT channel without cable or satellite is through online streaming services. But due to its popularity, TNT is fairly easy to find.
TNT normally comes with the other primary “Turner channels.” These are CNN, TBS, Turner Classic Movies (TCM), Boomerang, and Cartoon Network (CN). Normally, if a service offers TNT, it also offers the others. That’s the way it is with Hulu + Live TV and Sling TV. And services like FuboTV and Vidgo, which don’t offer TNT, also don’t offer the other Turner channels.
To stream TNT, you need three things:
- An internet connection: if you are reading this, you already have this one covered.
- A compatable streaming device: the major streaming services support almost all TVs and devices, so this shouldn’t be a problem.
- A service that offers TNT: and that’s what we will talk about now!
