UK HBO is not the same as US HBO

I think with HBO’s deal with Sky ending next year, the HBO MAX launching directly to subscribers in UK in March 2026 (and a few other countries in Western Europe beginning of 2026) will have the same programming as HBO MAX in the US.

Alas, though I would assume the same umbrella company?

I mean it's absurd because precisely no-one is going to sign up for a year-long TNT subscription in order to watch the CWG. And the people who have it already for the football are... let's say "unlikely" to be excited by the prospect of netball, track cycling, WAG and bowls.

Exactly. It doesn't even have to be the BBC either, long as it's freeview. I know it's going back a bit but think how good the Channel 4 Paralympic coverage was in 2012, and what a positive impact it had. I still remember the first time I saw the trailer.
