Max announced today that it will continue offering premiere sports and news content to Standard and Premium subscribers in the U.S. at no additional cost.
Originally, the streaming service planned to offer the B/R Sports add-on for an additional monthly fee but the add-on has been included with all plans “for a limited time” since launching. Beginning March 30, B/R Sports and CNN Max will not be available with the Basic with Ads plan, but will still be available on the Standard and Premium plans.
“Over the last year plus, we had the opportunity to assess how users engage with sports and news on Max, and we’ve been actively involved in exploring ways to evolve the sports distribution ecosystem in the U.S. We believe that the best place for that content for now is within the Standard and Premium tiers,” said JB Perrette, CEO and President of Global Streaming and Games, WBD. “This update ensures that subscribers can continue to enjoy that coveted access within Max, while also enabling ongoing investment in our premium sports and news portfolio.”
