Cinemax
HBO sister network
Cinemax is an American premium cable television channel, launched in 1980 as a sister network to HBO.
It broadcasts movies and original programming, typically without commercials.
In the 1990s and 2000s, its late-night softcore erotic programming earned it the nickname "Skinemax": We used to sneak downstairs to watch Skinemax after our parents went to bed.
