HBO Max Delights and Confuses Us

In a special news podcast, Light Reading's Jeff Baumgartner, Dan Jones and Phil Harvey gather around the microphones to talk about the launch of HBO Max. AT&T and WarnerMedia expect to have 50 million (HBO and) HBO Max subscribers in the US in about five years. But how will the carrier navigate the choppy waters of negotiating with HBO's pay-TV provider distributors while simultaneously trying to put them out of business? Once we discuss that elephant-in-the-room service provider angle, we put our consumer hats on and discuss how we consume HBO services currently, and what questions we hope to have answered by the time HBO Max launches. We're probably not like other consumers in that it doesn't take much to confuse all three of us at once, but please do listen because you might have a lot of the same questions in your home.Sign up today for the Light Reading newsletter.
