FilmStruck Streaming Video Service to End Ahead of Planned 2019 AT&T Offering

October 29, 2018 |Streaming Media

Turner Classic Movies’ FilmStruck streaming video service said Friday it’s shutting down Nov. 29 and no longer enrolling subscribers. Current FilmStruck subscribers will receive an email with details about their accounts and the refund process, said the website. FilmStruck, owned by AT&T, said this month (see 1810100038) it plans to launch a streaming service in Q4 2019, after its June acquisition of Time Warner. An SEC filing with few details said the service would be "a new choice for entertainment with the WarnerMedia collection of films, television series, libraries, documentaries and animation." FilmStruck, which streams international cinema, indie movies and film classics, is available on Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV and Chromecast devices, and via Android and iOS apps.
