Space City Home Network Launches SCHN+, a Direct-to-Consumer Stream for Astros and Rockets
The service targets local viewers with a paid option that bypasses cable.
Overview
- SCHN+ costs $19.99 per month or $199 per year, plus tax, and subscriptions are sold at SCHNPLUS.com.
- The app is live on web browsers as well as iOS, Android, Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV, with more platforms planned.
- Access is limited to Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma and specified New Mexico counties, while fans outside the region must use league out-of-market services.
- Existing Space City Home Network customers can authenticate their pay‑TV credentials for TV Everywhere access at no additional cost.
- The Astros and Rockets had been the last MLB and NBA teams without a DTC option, and the launch comes alongside long-term carriage deals with major providers that run through 2032.
