Just one day after Netflix secured the streaming rights to Seinfeld in a deal reportedly worth more than $500 million, WarnerMedia’s HBO Max has gone one step further, acquiring the rights to The Big Bang Theory in a deal reportedly worth more than $1 billion.
The deal gives WarnerMedia’s HBO Max the exclusive domestic streaming rights for five years, according to The Hollywood Reporter. That means another streaming service could carry the show in global markets. The deal also extends the syndication deal between Warner Bros. Television and TBS through 2028.

Why should I?
A good pair of Vegemite sandwiches** at breakfast keeps them spiders away for the whole day.
** if you smear them behind your ears or in your armpits. Works for drop bears too [wikipedia.org].
A small price to pay for watching Pommy TV for free, especially that a Vegemite jar is cheaper than a good size can of insect spray and keeps you going for months.
