telcodad Warner Bros. Discovery will be shutting down some of their HBO and Cinemax linear channels on August 15: Is HBO Eliminating Channels Next Month? Will Prices Be Reduced? TV Answer Man - July 29, 2025 https://tvanswerman.com/2025/07/29/is-hbo-eliminating-channels-next-month-will-prices-be-reduced/ … It is true that Warner Bros. Discovery on August 15 will terminate HBO Family and the following Cinemax multiplex channels: ThrillerMax, MovieMax and OuterMax. This will affect all cable and satellite providers that now carry those channels. The decision continues an industry-wide trend to trim expenses as pay TV subscriber numbers decline due to cord cutting and other factors. (Warner Bros. Discovery also recently announced plans to split the company in two to reduce expenses and streamline operations.): https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/warner-bros-discovery-announces-names-post-split-warner-bros-and-discovery-global/ar-AA1JskRZ The bad news continues since there are no indications that any cable or satellite TV providers will cut the price of HBO or Cinemax. In addition to the main channels, HBO and Cinemax will still offer other multiplex feeds such as HBO Comedy, HBOZone, HBO Latino and HBO Signature. The TV providers apparently believe the HBO and Cinemax offerings are still sufficiently attractive to warrant the current prices. Perhaps that will change if more channels are eliminated. (But I doubt it.)
Zer0Cool im not surprised, a little sad to see the end of the era but not surprised. We’ve only got basic streaming cable cant justify the extra cost of hbo when hbomax with adds is a good bit less last i checked even if its slightly lesser quality
