HBO vows to leave HBO Now alone after its Max streaming service is launched

I get HBO GO for free. Disney+ is the only new streaming service I'm close to considering. This tomfoolery is going to usher in the new golden age of pirating

Yeah but Sony owns the distribution rights

I read that with the Hulu deal Seinfeld, Larry David and Warner Bros. split the $180 million. So I assume if Warner buys Seinfeld back then they are really just giving part of that to David/Seinfeld and then banking the rest.

I think the money they're paying is the fee Hulu paid to get Seinfeld on their app plus some other factors. According to the article above, this is why BBT & T&HM have a high price tag

I did some further reading. Apparently Sony TV and Warner have been in discussions on some sort of cable/streaming deal for Seinfeld. Warner is expected to land Seinfeld for HBO Max because basically what they'd be doing is taking money from one arm in the department and shifting it over to another arm as long as Sony, Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David are compensated this is all legal.

So basically because Warner produced most of these sitcoms they can outbid other services because the price tag isn't really the price tag.

- all eps of fresh prince

i just recently bough the entire streaming collection of FP for $60.

A steal IMO b/c it's my fav show. To me, the cost effective way to go long term is just to buy seasons.

On amazon?

Nope, it's bundled on Google Play and also VUDU.

If I can get Martin and Sanford & Son the same way I'd be set. I have them both on DVD, but it's hard to keep up with all those discs

Those are my top 3 shows

$2 billion for three old shows

Friends was the most watched show on Netflix. Seinfeld has been huge for Hulu. Disney+ is expecting The Simpsons to do numbers. It's all about content.

HBO Max is doubling their original content output as well. My guess is that there will be two tiers and a bundle package.

I'm gonna predict that they offer a bundle of HBO and DC Universe and Crunchyroll etc. but if you buy HBO Max then you probably will have access to all of it.

Some shows will still be on HBO, some original shows will only be available on the top tier.

I read an article that said just The Big Bang Theory alone brings in $1 billion in syndication revenue for WB.

Oh I'm not disputing it being worth it in this new age of streaming rights. I'm still just floored by how much money these 3 shows are going for.

2 billion is enough to fund the entire run of Game of Thrones, build a theme park with state of the art rides, and fund a Star Wars and Avengers movie.

Just goes to show how important syndication and reruns are to the health and viability of a network and streaming company. People may sub for the new shyt but they stick around for access to the old shyt.

I think the CBS streaming service is a bad idea. They should just go the way of SEGA.
