Winter is coming, if not returning, to Singapore TV as Game of Thrones and HBO Asia’s six channels will be available on Singtel TV and its companion mobile app, Singtel TV GO.

Along with the final chapter of Game of Thrones, customers can access HBO shows including Westworld and True Detective. With the introduction of HBO, Singtel TV continues to expand its content offerings following the addition of eight channels in 2018. These include Discovery Networks’ trio of lifestyle channels and the launch of its second in-house Asian entertainment channel, e-Le.

To celebrate the launch on 1 February 2019, all six HBO channels will be available on free preview for all Singtel TV customers from 1 to 28 February 2019. HBO GO, HBO Asia’s streaming service, will be available from 15 March through CAST, Singtel’s video app for mobile and smart TV sets.

“We’re thrilled to welcome HBO to our entertainment line-up and we’re pleased to offer our customers a month-long free preview just in time for the Lunar New Year holidays,” said Yuen Kuan Moon, CEO, consumer Singapore, Singtel. “This partnership marks a significant milestone in our efforts to offer the best and most comprehensive range of content in Singapore, which is accessible across mobile, broadband and TV. We know that many of our customers are looking forward to the final season of Game of Thrones which premieres in April."

“We are delighted to launch all six of our HBO branded channels and our on-demand service on Singtel TV, from Hollywood blockbusters and critically-acclaimed HBO Original series on HBO, to action-packed movies and series on CINEMAX and Asian stories on RED BY HBO,” added Jonathan Spink, CEO of HBO Asia. “With this new partnership with Singtel, more subscribers in Singapore will now have access to the best Hollywood movies and award-winning HBO Original content from Asia and the US."
