This is how Ziggo is trying to absorb HBO’s big loss

A lot of the hottest titles will be gone from Ziggo in the next month. Now comes a new step to make up for this loss.

Ziggo is located in the corner where the blows fall. First, it lost the rights to Formula 1 and later the HBO titles came on top of that. However, the company is doing everything in its power to reduce this loss. It has now signed a number of new agreements to bring several shows to Movies & Series (X) L.

HBO Max and Ziggo

Movies & Series (X)L is the Ziggo Movies & Series Bundle. Customers can choose to close them to view different offers on demand. For a long time you could watch HBO series like Game of Thrones and Westworld, but those big titles will be gone. The reason for this is that HBO Max is coming to the Netherlands. The streaming service from WarnerMedia, the parent company of HBO and WarnerBros. He is.

Of course, Ziggo puts it well in a press release: “We’re already sweeping our collection for you this winter.” In other words, in plain language: “We’re totally the sack because HBO Max is kicking off all our major titles.” Series that will disappear include Game of Thrones, Six Feet Under, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, Westworld, The Wire, Chernobyl, and The Sopranos. If you still want to see them, you have to be fast.

However, not all HBO titles are gone, as titles like Succession, The Nevers, and The Last Cruise remain. But hey, this is a small beer compared to the aforementioned titles.

New series and movies

Ziggo is trying to absorb the loss somewhat. It has signed an agreement with ViacomCBS, the parent company of Paramount, MTV and Comedy Central, among others. Starting in January, you’ll be watching series like Californication, Dexter, and American Rust. It also comes with classic movie titles like Star Trek, Mission Impossible, and The Godfather.

HBO Max may be merged with this major streaming service

However, the big question is how long Ziggo’s agreement with ViacomCBS will last, since this movie company also has its own streaming service. Paramount+ operates in the US and seems to want to bring this service to Europe just like HBO Max.
