FiOS Customers First to Access Cinemax Online Video Portal

NEW YORK: Home Box Office (HBO) and Verizon have signed a deal to bring FiOS TV customers Cinemax programming online with MaxGo.com.

MaxGo.com is an online video destination with more than 700 hours of Cinemax programming monthly. The service is similar to HBO Go, which launched with FiOS in February. MAX Go offers free, unlimited online access to Cinemax programming at any time, from any location inside the U.S.

“With the addition of MAX GO, Verizon FiOS subscribers will be the first to enjoy the full suite of Cinemax offerings," said Shelley Brindle, the senior VP of domestic network distribution at HBO. "Whether watching the linear channels, searching Cinemax on Demand or now clicking through Max GO, the programming is available the way the consumer desires to access it.”

Shawn Strickland, the VP of consumer strategy and planning for Verizon, added, “Verizon’s FiOS customers are getting even more value from their Cinemax subscription with MAX GO, which allows them to access programming at any time, from any location. We’re excited for MAX GO to join HBO GO and our growing content offering, further enhancing the TV and Internet experience that only FiOS delivers.”
