Summary
Warner Bros Discovery has announced that sports content on its HBO Max streaming service, offered through the B/R Sports tier, will continue to be included within standard and premium subscriptions, and will not require an additional charge.
The move will see the removal of B/R Sports and CNN Max content from the ad-supported tier from 30 March.
The decision to scrap plans for a specific sports subscription comes after a successful trial of displaying live sports on Max attracted new subscribers and led to increased subscription uptake.
Analysts suggest the decision will bring more value to standard and premium packages and could see subscribers move from the ad-supported tier to paid options.
