The Comedy Central series “Broad City” returns Wednesday night, and there are a number of different ways to watch a live stream of Season 4 online, even if you don’t have cable.
People without a cable subscription can watch Comedy Central via an over-the-top streaming service, which provides access to a handful of channels for a monthly fee. Sling TV is the cheapest option, while DirecTV Now offers different pros and cons. Both have a free trial, so you can test them out if you’re not sure which you want.
Here’s a rundown of what these live streaming services provide, and how to sign up to start watching “Broad City”:
