I'll be interested to see if HBO Max partners with anyone similarly to Disney+, ESPN+ and Hulu - **EDIT** I just realized that Disney owns Hulu as well as ESPN (I knew they owned ESPN) so that nullifies that statement. Enjoy your day everyone [Reply]

HOLY. FUCK. I can't believe they are fucking billionaires. God bless them and their creative minds and talent.

HBO Max, the WarnerMedia-backed direct-to-consumer service that debuts in May, has won the battle for exclusive streaming rights in the U.S. to Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s animated satire, which is currently hosted on Disney-owned Hulu.
The deal is valued at $500 million to $550 million, a source familiar with matter tells Variety.

Totally fleeced? I don't think so, not from the information in that article.
Also, how badly did CBS/Viacom fuck themselves by not merging earlier? Had they merged prior to 2019, they'd have had an anchor for their new streaming network, which will replace CBS All Access in the next year.
Now, they've screwed themselves for probably 10 years but at least they'll get the rights back in 2031. [Reply]

Uh they literally make those South Park episodes in less than 6 days lol(they made a mini documentary on it called 6 Days to Air) . They do it effortlessly so yes they absolutely fleeced the shit out of HBO. They are living the good life that's for sure. [Reply]

You're fucking stupid and know absolutely nothing about the entertainment business. [Reply]

You think 20+ seasons of episodes at 6 days an episode isn’t that hard? [Reply]
