HBO shares shows with TNT and TBS for first time

HBO will air recent shows "True Detective: Night Country" and "Hacks" on TNT and TBS, marking a new approach for the network. "True Detective" starts on March 28, while "Hacks" begins on April 3. This is the first time HBO has shared currently airing shows with other networks. Previously, HBO content was only available through subscriptions to HBO or Max. Episodes will be edited for broadcast standards. Warner Bros. Television Group's CEO indicated this could lead to more similar initiatives to attract new subscribers to HBO and Max.
