.....they continue to 'save money' and have pulled 'Looney Tunes' so that they don't have to pay for it's use......at some point, HBO Max will be worth almost nothing.....


HBO Max Pulls Looney Tunes,

....Looney Tunes is the latest casualty of HBO Max’s library culling.

The streamer has pulled Seasons 16-31 of the animated series from its service, which amounts to 256 shorts ranging from 1950 to 2004, Vulture reports. The site notes that HBO Max chose not to renew its license for the Warner Bros. shorts after it expired at the end of 2022.

Looney Tunes is the most recent show to become a victim of Warner Bros. Discovery’s cost-cutting efforts at HBO Max. Since early December, the streamer has cancelled FBoy Island, Legendary, Minx (which had been renewed for, and nearly completed production on, Season 2) and Love Life. Meanwhile, cancelled HBO dramas The Nevers, Westworld and The Time Traveler’s Wife were among the content pulled from HBO Max’s library, as were Raised by Wolves, Finding Magic Mike and Head of the Class. Warner Bros. Discovery plans to shop the titles to free, ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) services such as Pluto TV, Tubi and Peacock.......


......HBO Max.......looses more content..................?!

I reject your reality and substitute my own!

Looney Tunes is produced by Warner Brothers, HBO belongs to Warner Brothers. How do they save money?

"Owning" a show does not make it free to air the show. Somebody has to pay the residuals (payments to talent for re-use).

But if you cut all the content out, then what will the subscribers want to watch? Pretty soon, you'll start to lose subscribers...

proofraed by OwEn the c@t.

We have HBO Max under a 12 month deal but thinking of canceling it. We have Paramount Plus for the $60 deal (Even though I may pay the extra $$$$ to avoid the commercials.
