It has been confirmed that HBO\u2019s U.S. linear channels will be receiving new updated names to \u201cbetter reflect the respective content offerings.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">What are the new HBO channel names?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The six HBO channels that will be rebranded are HBO2, HBO Signature, HBO Zone, MoreMAX, ActionMax, and 5starMAX. As of today, the updated monikers will be reflected in available HBO Max live in-app Channels, which launched last year on select plans. This feature enables subscribers to stream live HBO programming via simulcasts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Listed below are the new names for each channel:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"mb-4\">\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">HBO2 is now called HBO Hits.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">HBO Signature is now called HBO Drama.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">HBO Zone is now called HBO Movies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">MoreMAX is now called Cinemax Hits.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">ActionMAX is now called Cinemax Action.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">5starMAX is now called Cinemax Classics.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cThis evolution has also been influenced by changing consumer needs, and the fact that no consumer today is saying they want more content, but most consumers are saying they want better content,\u201d the company said in a previous statement during the announcement of HBO Max\u2019s rebranding last May. \u201cWith other services filling the more basic needs with volume, WBD has clearly distinguished itself through its quality and distinct stories, and no brand has done that better and more consistently over 50+ years than HBO. Returning the HBO brand into HBO Max will further drive the service forward and amplify the uniqueness that subscribers can expect from the offering. It is also a testament to WBD\u2019s willingness to keep boldly iterating its strategy and approach \u2013 leaning heavily on consumer data and insights \u2013 to best position itself for success.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.comingsoon.net\/movies\/news\/2023882-hbo-undergoes-another-rebrand-renames-channels\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:HBO Undergoes Another Rebrand, Renames Channels;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">HBO Undergoes Another Rebrand, Renames Channels<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.comingsoon.net\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:ComingSoon.net - Movie Trailers, TV &amp; Streaming News, and More;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">ComingSoon.net &#8211; Movie Trailers, TV &amp; Streaming News, and More<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yahoo is using AI to generate takeaways from this article.
