HBO is entering the daily news business with longtime partner Vice, after signing a deal on Thursday to expand programming from the guerrilla news service and extend its contract through 2018.
The Vice daily newscast will consist of five 30-minute shows per week, 48 weeks per year. The addition of this new series also represents the first daily show of any sort in HBO’s history.
