This according to Cord Cutter News.

I mentioned in the past that Cinemax(along with The Movie Channel) were basically throw away channels with Cinemax getting HBO's leftovers.

Once Spectrum dropped Cinemax(along with Epix) from it's Gold Package then it lost a lot of subscribers and credibility.

Geez, wasn't it bad enough that AT&T "cleaned up" Cinemax? (such that it no longer earns the "Skinemax" label)

I was a big fan of The Girl's Guide to Depravity, mostly for the simply gorgeous Rebecca Blumhagen. Once AT&T came in, production halted on that show, as well as reruns. Co-Ed Confidential was equally watchable for Michelle Maylene, a Filipino-American adult actress most notable 'cause unlike other actresses in that field, she's OEM.

They're also dropped the Audience channel so if there was going to be more Mr Mercedes, it'll probably be on HBO Max.

Yep. I had been enjoying the originals on Cinemax (enjoyed Banshee and Strike Back much more than The Knick or Outcast), but when Spectrum pulled the rug out, I cut my subscription down a tier.

Once I catch up with the original programming from Cinemax, I will be canceling that tier.

I have Cinemax, but the only reason why I have it is because of promos that drop the price.

Once Strike Back's newest season wraps, there's really no reason to keep it anymore.

For my package, Cinemax is automatically included with HBO.

But at the time, it offered something different than HBO (aka, "Skinemax"). Now it's just backup HBO; if there's an HBO movie you've been wanting to see, and it's on Cinemax now, you know it's closer to going to basic cable next. Better DVR it soon before it's gone.

Didn't this happen before AT&T took over though? I remember that the Max After Dark programming began to be phased out by 2013 and by 2014 it was only available on the Cinemax to Go app and then by early 2016, it was completely removed from there too.

I always liked Cinemax and the B movies and softcore porn they showed but the reason that channel lost all that to begin with was the rise of streaming. With Netflix and all these other streaming channels, Cinemax, The Movie Channel and all these extra sister channels have basically become obsolete. I'm truly surprised they have lasted this long.

It makes absolutely no sense for Cinemax to leave their original shows in purgatory and not have them on HBO Max.

They're all in the can and paid for. Max Go, their current streaming service which I get for free with my DirecTV subscription to Cinemax, is almost useless because it's on for portable streaming devices.
