HBO and Sky Extend Partnership with Pan-European Deal
HBO and Sky have extended their relationship, coming to a new deal ensuring that Sky Atlantic Network is the home of HBO for 21 million Sky customers across European countries.
The deal means exclusive rights until 2020 for first-run HBO programs in Germany, Austria and Italy.
Where possible, episodes will air simultaneously with the U.S., and the deal makes more HBO content available through on-demand platforms.
As well as watching shows on TV sets, subscribers can also watch them on Sky Go (Sky's mobile TV service) via streaming and download.
Gary Davey, managing director, content, at Sky, said "our partnership (with HBO), in its sixth year, now escalates to a whole new level. HBO has an amazing slate planned for 2016 including 'Vinyl' and Westworld'.
"It will also see the premiere of our first co-production together, 'The Young Pope', starring Jude Law."
