At a Television Critics Association event in Beverly Hills, Showtime president Gary Levine unveiled the network’s new addition to the growing plethora of subscription streaming services, named Showtime Maxi+ Plus.
It was a joke, of course, as well as a dig against rivals like HBO and Disney and their forthcoming HBO Max and Disney+ streamers that the Showtime boss ripped apart while speaking to attendees gathered in a Beverly Hilton ballroom. For that matter, you can also lump Netflix — to a degree — into the targets of his ire, and in his insistence that amid all of that change and those new players, Showtime represents “an island of stability.”
