Sky and HBO renew Programming Deal for Sky Atlantic
 

Mods: Can you rename the thread "Sky and HBO renew Programming Deal for Sky Atlantic" or something similar, thanks.

HBO and Sky renew their programming deal, which means a HBO Max streaming service launch in UK and Ireland (and also Germany, Austria and Italy) is unlikely. The deal will include the Game of Thrones spin-offs. This isn't connected to the similar Sky/HBO co-productions deal made in 2017, but obviously will include the rights to air these shows on Sky Atlantic.

In my opinion, I think Sky Atlantic will remain to be exclusive to Sky, unless Sky is willing to offer the channel and whether Virgin, BT, etc. are willing to pay for it.

l think you are spot on with your opinion that Sky Atlantic will remain exclusive to Sky for a good while yet despite the wildly exaggerated positivity from certain members.

Yeah, they're on the brink of making a deal, but both parties want this deal and I think it will be agreed. It's just the formalities of what the deal will entail that need to be agreed on.

EDIT: It's been officially agreed: https://www.digitaltveurope.com/2019...deal-with-hbo/

If this is correct it could also be a good sign for Sky Cinema keeping the first run rights to Warner Bros movies.

What were all these rumours that were doing the rounds from the usual suspects that Sky would start to lose access to these films in the coming years MM.;)

Hopefully Sky can tie up a similar agreement with Disney

Done.

Can't see that personally but who knows.

Re: Sky and HBO renew Programming Deal for HBO Max
 

It would be a big boost for Sky if they could, with the Peacock app coming to Sky Q next year it's a potentially exciting time in terms of content on offer via linear and on demand.

I just hope like Virgin they can add the Pluto TV App on there

Maybe my eyes glazed over, but I'm pretty sure the Sky-Warner press release doesn't mention how many years this is for. Last time, with the original deal, I think they did. This time it only says multi-year, rather than a specific number. This omission suggests to me this deal isn't anywhere near as long as last time.

5 year deal according to this link.
