WarnerMedia Streaming Service Could Cost As Much As $17 Per Month, Would Include HBO And Cinemax

The Wall Street Journal talked to some anonymous sources and got the scoop on the WarnerMedia streaming service cost. Per Variety:

WarnerMedia originally intended to launch a three tier plan: “an entry-level movie-focused package; a service with original programming and movies; and one that provided the content in the first two plus a library of WarnerMedia and licensed content.” That idea has been abandoned in favor of a single plan.

If all of this seems way too pricey for you, but you’re still interested in subscribing, you might want to wait a year. WarnerMedia is considering launching a lower-cost ad-supported version of their streaming service in 2020. So you’ll have a choice: pay more and go ad-free, like HBO Now – or pay less, and put up with incessant ads, like Hulu. Again, you’re getting a lot of content here: not just HBO and Cinemax material, but also Warner Bros. TV shows and movies. If you can fit it into your budget, the service might be worth it.

WarnerMedia is slated to launch a beta version of its streaming service near the end of this year, which is around the time Disney+ is going live. (Disney+ officially debuts in November.)
