MAX to Launch in Australia

[Rove]

Warner Bros has announced their streaming service MAX will launch on March 31st. I had high hopes their huge catalogue would include Dallas, alas no. Why is this? It's absurd Warner Bros currently has ownership of Dallas but refuse to have it available on their streaming service. Sorry Warner Bros. My hard-earned wages will not be coming your way.

Where did you get that information? I assume the programmes mentioned on the website are not their full catalogue.

@Seaviewer I did a thorough search of their American site and Dallas is not listed. I cannot see how they would add it to their Australian library. I see "Friends" is front and centre with their promotions. Really? I can watch this on loop on 10Peach.

I'd love to be proven wrong.

That's disappointing, to say the least.

American MAX has never featured any of their soaps. The closest is now Knots Landing is on Discovery Plus which is an offshoot of Max. I've never understood it either, especially since these are shows it owns. Of course license it out to make more money but I don't see why that should limit them from putting it on their direct platform as well.

HBO Max is now available as an add-on on Prime Video in Australia. Still no sign of Dallas or Knots Landing, though.

So strange not to have them on their streaming platform. I won't be subscribing until at the very least Dallas appears.
