AT&T said it will continue to offer HBO Max as part of its top tier bundles after restructuring an agreement with the streaming service it used to own.
The announcement comes after Warner Bros. Discovery announced that HBO Max and Discovery+ will launch as a combined service in the U.S. next summer.
The future of the streaming perk first came into question after AT&T spun off HBO parent company WarnerMedia in April in a merger with Discovery. Since AT&T was no longer the owner of HBO Max, internet and mobility customers wondered if the service would be dropped from plans. Customers who gained access to HBO Max through past plans have continued to receive access to it and aren’t affected by the new agreement, said AT&T spokesman Fletcher Cook. When asked about details on the new plans and when they would be available, Cook said the company has no further information to publicize yet.
