Don't want to miss the best from Business Standard?

HBO network has quietly dropped the late night erotic programmes from its lineup.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, HBO and Cinemax have exited the adult entertainment industry, whereby the shows like Taxicab Confessions, Real Sex and Cathouse have been phased out from the channels.

The Hollywood Reporter quoted a premium cable network as saying, "Over the past several years HBO has been winding down its late-night adult fare. 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."

The change in the lineup came following the Sheila Nevins' stepping down from the position of the President of HBO Documentary Films.
