When AT&T bought Time Warner and created WarnerMedia , it seemed poised to create yet another streaming video service designed to vie against the the likes of of Netflix and Hulu .
But now , harmonize toa report from the Wall Street Journal , it appears WarnerMedia has abandoned its plans to make a three - tiered streaming app in favor of a undivided streaming package that combines mental object from HBO , Cinemax , and Warner Bros. for a fixed price between $ 16 and $ 17 .
Last fall at apresentation in New York attended by Variety , AT&T ( WarnerMedia ’s parent companionship ) outlined its original three - tier design which was comprised of “ an launching - level movie - focussed package , ” in plus to a “ premium service with original programming and blockbuster movies ” and a fully - debase tier with everything from the first two design along with “ an extensive library of WarnerMedia subject . ”

But now , with a apparently dateless routine of streaming TV providers already on the grocery store including AT&T ’s own DirecTV Now service and more to come thanks to platforms like Disney+ and others , it seems WarnerMedia is take the cautious route when it comes to dive into the streaming video market .
That said , by pricing its services around $ 16 or $ 17 a calendar month , just a brace bucks more than the $ 15 a calendar month it costs just for a single HBO Now subscription , WarnerMedia ’s new inspection and repair could be a very attractive bundle for HBO ’s subsist indorser . We ’ve enquire the ship’s company if it has plan to discontinue HBO Now and will update this post when we receive a reply .
After establish its service , the WSJ ’s sources say WarnerMedia could add more message such as live sport or effect to its offerings , though the company will have oeuvre hard not to angriness cable television providers who may get undercut due to WarnerMedia ’s belligerent pricing for its upcoming cyclosis content package .
But now that Game of Thrones is over , the biggest cause to pay for HBO is now behind us , so WarnerMedia well have a bloody good pitch if it gestate to crush out another $ 15 to $ 20 a calendar month for even more streaming content .
