Watch CMT on Hulu
Personally, use Hulu to watch live CMT online. Previously Hulu was known for its vast on-demand streaming library.

Hulu Live TV starts at $69.99 after signing up and includes the following features:

CMT on Sling TV
CMT is not in Sling’s base packages. However, you can get CMT through the Orange or the Blue package By adding the “Comedy Extra” add-on package for an additional $6 per month on top of $35 for one of Sling’s base packages.
Sling TV provides a live stream of CMT so you can watch what would be airing on CMT, just as if you had cable. A Cloud DVR program is included.
Sling TV is available on Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast, and more, so it’s not a problem to enjoy it on a TV, tablet, computer, or other smart devices. There are more channels than I’ve mentioned available on Sling TV than what I’ve discussed here.

Watch CMT for Free
Some of the streaming services that carry CMT offer a free trial. You can take advantage of those and watch free CMT for almost a month or longer if you use different email addresses. Let’s look at the free trials available.
- Philo – offers a 7-day free trial
- Hulu Live TV – Offers a 1-week Free Trial
- FuboTV – offers a 1-week free trial.
- YouTube TV – offers a 1-week free trial
As long as you cancel before the free trial expires, you won’t be charged. You can cycle the free trials to get nearly a month of CMT free. If you get creative with email addresses and payment methods, you could watch free CMT even longer. Doing this would also let you test out the various live TV streaming services to see which one you like the best.
