To meet the
increasing demand for more streaming services on mobile and at home, in addition
to local traditional television, Taiwan Broadband Communications (TBC), has
partnered WarnerMedia to launch HBO GO.
“TBC is
proud to be the first pay-TV operator in Taiwan to partner with WarnerMedia for
the launch of HBO GO. This marks a new milestone for us,” said Jimmy Chen, CEO
of the local leading multi-system cable operator.
“I am
certain that HBO GO will add more value to TBC subscribers, where they will be
able to enjoy the best of Hollywood and HBO original content anytime, anywhere,”
said Chen, adding that global hits like Westworld
(Season 3) is currently on air and available for catch-up on HBO GO.
WarnerMedia has invested heavily in Taiwanese
original productions that include The
Teenage Psychic and its sequel, as well as The World Between Us, which were all huge hits. Other local
productions include Adventure of the Ring
and Dream Raiders which will air on
HBO and HBO GO later this year.
As an
introductory offer, TBC’s cable TV subscribers can now access the streaming app
with an additional monthly or annual fee. Bundle packages are also available to
existing subscribers to TBC’s premium movie plan, its HBO plan or its premium
entertainment plan.
In Asia,
HBO GO is also available in Hong Kong, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia,
Singapore and Vietnam, as well as Thailand as from 30 March 2020.
