WarnerMedia is believed to have Foxtel and Stan vying to secure new content deals, including HBO, as the battle for premium content in the streaming wars heats up.

Sources told The Australian Financial Review that Stan, along with Nine, was talking to WarnerMedia, owned by US telecommunications giant AT&T, about securing HBO content for the subscription video-on-demand service, as well as other Warner Bros content across the media business, including the Nine Network and ad-funded streaming service 9Now.
