WarnerMedia-owned HBO will offer a sizable discount to current and former subscribers following the cable network’s exit from Amazon Prime Video’s Channels platform, the company said Friday.
HBO lost an estimated five million subscribers who signed up through Amazon after an agreement between the two corporate giants expired on Wednesday. The discount offer is an effort to retain users who had their subscriptions cut short.
Users can subscribe to HBO Max, the company’s streaming platform, at a 50% discount through Sept. 26. The subscription will cost $7.49 per month for the first six months, down from its normal cost of $14.99 per month.
