NEW YORK — Pornhub, responding to HBO’s announcement that it is winding down adult entertainment programming, said that the adult portal has offered to produce new seasons of some of the top-rated programming it plans to cut.
Pornhub’s Aria tweeted the offer yesterday made by company’s vice president, Corey Price, who said that shows like “Taxicab Confessions” and “Real Sex,” among others, are vestiges of a bygone era, and that he’d like to see them continue.
“We can attest to the continued demand for adult programming and think there is immense value in the promotion and consumption of sex-positive shows,” Price said. “That said, we would like to extend an offer to help produce new seasons of the informative skin-baring programs and host them on our HD, on-demand platform Pornhub Premium.
“We would also be willing to house past seasons of said programs on Pornhub Premium for our fans to enjoy 24/7. At the end of the day we’re all about penetrating new markets, and we’re excited to insert ourselves into this discussion and hopefully provide more compelling original content for our fans.”
HBO said the decision to move cut adult entertainment programming preceded its acquisition earlier this year. HBO became part of AT&T in June after the company completed its purchase of parent Time Warner Inc.
“Over the past several years HBO has been winding down its late-night adult fare,” an HBO representative said. “While we’re greatly ramping up our other original program offerings, there hasn’t been a strong demand for this kind of adult programming, perhaps because it’s easily available elsewhere.”
