HBO has already conquered the world of original programming, now they’re looking to become the kingpin of online video too.
A few weeks ago, HBO’s parent company, Time Warner, began discussing its plan to launch a site similar to Hulu.com, called HBO GO, where subscribers could access their programming online. That’s the catch, you would have to be a subscriber to the cable channel to access videos on the site.
Many critics believe HBO GO is a direct response to Epix, a joint venture between Paramount, Lionsgate and MGM studios, that will be both a website and a pay TV channel that broadcasts current and classic movies, not unlike HBO does now.
