HBO in Distribution Pact with The Cable in St. Kitts

The Cable in St. Kitts is adding HBO as part of its channel roster, bringing to its subscribers hit shows such as Game of Thrones, Westworld and Big Little Lies, alongside new series The Outsider and Avenue 5.

Included in the agreement are the basic pay-TV channel Cinemax, as well as Sony, AXN and Warner Channel, third-party channels that HBO Latin America licenses and distributes across the region. These channels will be available to all of the platform’s customers as part of its basic package. Additionally, customers with a set-top box will be able to enjoy a “4 pack” of channels: HBO, HBO Plus, HBO Signature and HBO Family.

“At HBO, our commitment is to offer our subscribers the best entertainment experience and an elevated value to our cable operators and distributors,” said Javier Figueras, corporate VP of affiliate relations at HBO Latin America. “In collaboration with The Cable, we will work to launch and expand digital access, giving consumers alternative, quicker, easier and more dynamic ways to watch our content.”

“We are happy that we have been able to reach this agreement with HBO mere months after the launch of Ultra TV,” added Patricia Walters, CEO of The Cable. “Being able to offer HBO premium-tier channels to our customers translates to significant value-added, as we can now satisfy their demands for movie channels. Our customers will be further excited to know that more innovative HBO entertainment will be rolled out over the coming months.”
