HBO’s New YouTube Channel
Love your HBO? Well you can now add to your HBO experience with the new HBO YouTube Channel. You can see promos of upcoming shows like, “John Adams,” “The Wire,” “The Gates,” and highlights of HBO championship boxing. Right now the only complete show episodes you’ll find there are of the therapist drama “In Treatment.” But in future, HBO promises YouTube only videos in addition to clips from HBO documentaries and films.
Some fun stuff includes the original HBO opening from 1983 and a behind the scenes look at the recent HBO film “Bernard and Doris.”
Joseph Giraldi, director, digital distribution and partnerships, HBO said, “We invest significantly in developing HBO programs and are always searching for new promotional platforms. We are thrilled to continue this tradition by offering the global YouTube audience access to our wide variety of content.”
“As the leader in online video, YouTube provides top media companies like HBO an opportunity to broadcast their content to an entirely new audience,” said Jordan Hoffner, head of premium content partnerships for YouTube.
If HBO starts putting enough of their shows on YouTube, maybe they’ll start charging us less in cable fees.
