This article is for subscribers only.
HBO is giving cable subscribers one more reason to cut the cord.
Time Warner Inc.’s premium-TV network, the home of “Game of Thrones,” roiled the industry yesterday by saying it plans to offer an online service in the U.S. next year that won’t require a cable or satellite subscription. CBS Corp.’s Showtime said it may follow suit. The moves may be a threat to Comcast Corp., Time Warner Cable Inc. and DirecTV.
