FOXTEL have inked a mega, multi-year deal to cement its place as the home of HBO, makers of Game Of Thrones, Succession, Big Little Lies and the new Gossip Girl reboot.
The exclusive content arrangement signed overnight bolsters the stocks of Foxtel and viewing options for its 2.5 million viewers, and extends to include exclusive rights for Warner Bros. TV and its extensive movies catalogue.
Warner Media’s kids offering also includes continuing its broadcast of Cartoon Network and Boomerang, along with streaming rights and CNN access.
The programming bonanza comes as Foxtel looks to grow its footprint in SVOD and streaming space and will be a blow to its rival, Stan which will lose its back catalogue of Friends and The Big Bang Theory.
Foxtel Group Chief Executive Officer Patrick Delany said: “We are pleased that after working together for almost 25 years we can announce an expansion of our relationship, not only with Warner Bros. and HBO, but with the extended WarnerMedia family. The diverse output from WarnerMedia to the Foxtel Group will power our broadcast and streaming strategy on multiple platforms and multiple brands ensuring our customers continue to enjoy the very best of TV and on demand from the world’s number one producer of television.”
