Dish Network Corp. unveiled the first major Internet-streaming television service from a cable or satellite company, a $20-a-month set of 12 channels that targets U.S. customers who don’t want to pay for larger, more expensive TV packages.

Called Sling TV, the service offers live feeds of sports, news and scripted shows on TVs, computers and mobile devices and will start later this month, Dish announced today at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Walt Disney Co.’s ESPN, Time Warner Inc.’s TNT and CNN and others have agreed to supply cable channels.
