American Heroes Channel, formerly Military Channel, and Discovery Wings Channel before that, has been around for two decades and it features programming revolving around the military, warfare, military science and so on.

Over cable, American Heroes Channel reaches nearly 60 million households over cable, but it's also present on four different Live TV Streaming platforms. Let's find out which.

We're kicking off the list by mentioning Sling TV, which is a great live TV service, allowing subscribers to customize their plans to a T. You start off with one of three bundles - Orange ($25/mo), Blue ($25/mo), and Orange + Blue ($40/mo). Then, you can add any number of extra channel packs, depending on your interests, or one of those premium networks with top-quality content. American Heroes is present in the Heartland extra, which means you'll have to pay an additional $5 per month to watch it. TechNadu has a Sling TV review ready if you want more details.

2. Philo

Next up, we have Philo, a platform that makes choosing easy since it only has two bundles to pick from and no room for customization. Philo's two bundles are suggestively called 40 Channels and 49 Channels and cost $16 per month and $20 per month, respectively. American Heroes Channel is present in the 49 Channels bundle, so you only have one option to get the network you want here and you can easily subscribe to Philo and get it.
