Cord-cutters, rejoice. HBO shows will soon be available to stream on Sling TV.
According to USA Today, the HBO package will cost $15 a month. That's on top of the $20 monthly fee to have Sling TV in the first place.
"It is has always been our desire to make the HBO subscription widely accessible," HBO President of Global Distribution Tom Woodbury said in a statement, USA Today reported. "Sling TV is a part of that ongoing evolution and we believe HBO is a great addition to the platform."
Even better news for fans of HBO's "Game of Thrones" is that the network will be on the service before season five of the hit show premieres on April 12. An exact date is not yet set, though.
Sling TV CEO Roger Lynch believes HBO, and "Thrones" in particular, was a vital get for his company, calling the show's upcoming season premiere "one of the most important TV moments of the year."
"HBO delivers hit shows and movies that TV viewers crave, and with this addition we're adding another heavy hitter to a lineup that includes ESPN, AMC, TNT and more," he added.
Sling TV adds HBO to a growing list of networks available to users. The basic $20 monthly plan includes A&E, CNN, both ESPN and ESPN2, Food Network, HGTV, TBS, TNT and more. Not bad, seeing how Sling TV only launched in February.
