ION is known for back-to-back crime procedural reruns and, in the fall, a slate of WNBA and NFL games, and it is one of the first channels people look for when they price up a DIRECTV Stream package.
DIRECTV Stream sells four tiers, so the real question is never whether a channel exists but which tier it sits in.
So, is ION on DIRECTV Stream? Here is the tier it lands in.
