HBO GO is WarnerMedia’s regional streaming service in Southeast Asia, currently available to audiences in eight territories—Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Taiwan and Indonesia—either via distribution partners or direct to consumers via app stores.

Discovery’s Simon Robinson, Netflix’s Tony Zameczkowski, Viu’s Helen Sou and WarnerMedia’s Clément Schwebig weighed in on the streaming wars and the impact of COVID-19 on the media business in a panel at the AVIA OTT Virtual Summit this week.
