“Skinemax” No More: HBO Exits Erotic Programming Space

“HBO and corporate sibling network Cinemax have, over the past year, quietly exited the adult entertainment industry. As first reported Tuesday by the Los Angeles Times, both premium cable networks have phased out content including Taxicab Confessions, Real Sex and Cathouse as well as other adult movies containing explicit content from its linear and on-demand platforms.

Their statement:

“Over the past several years HBO has been winding down its late-night adult fare. While we’re greatly ramping up our other original program offerings, there hasn’t been a strong demand for this kind of adult programming, perhaps because it’s easily available elsewhere”

“The project is rife with conflicts of interest for Trump, whose Trump International Hotel is essentially across the street from the FBI headquarters.”

“When we began this investigation, the prospect that President Trump was personally involved in the government-led redevelopment of a property in close proximity to the Trump Hotel was dismissed as a conspiracy theory.”

“The extent of Trump’s involvement in the decision is unclear. The report indicates that while GSA employees confirmed the White House meetings with Trump, they received instructions not to divulge any statements Trump made at those meetings.”
