China's Tencent partners with HBO for TV show streaming



Chinese Internet firm Tencent Holdings Ltd is partnering with Time Warner Inc's HBO network to stream its TV shows, which are known for their provocative content and may draw scrutiny from the country's authorities. [...] Tencent declined to say how much it spent on HBO's content, nor did it give a date for release. The TV series and films are set to be broadcast in the very near future, said Tencent, as they are still subject to approval from China's regulators and may need to be censored. Earlier this year, China's state broadcaster CCTV aired a chopped version of Game of Thrones which one viewer said resembled a "medieval castle documentary". - Paul Carsten,Reuters [via/web:http://streaming-tv.us]
