"Times may vary depending on which feed (east or west) they are provided by their satellite or cable provider."

On air look

HBO Family's on air look is different from HBO's other multiplexed channels. Between programs, HBO Family provides viewers with previews and previously added graphic text at the end of the spot with the date and time for the next playdate of that program. This was something that the original HBO had done, but now is no longer provided in this format, except for HBO Family which also ended providing the date & time graphic at the end of 2007. ["HBO Family" channel on-air] Also during the interstitial programming, viewers to HBO Family are shown family themed short programs and a "HBO Family Feature Presentation" themed spot before a movie. HBO's primary channel and HBO Family are the only two HBO channels that feature voice-over descriptions during the "coming up next" and "tonight on.." segments.

Website

HBO Family has the distinction of being the only HBO spin-off with its own website; all the others are integrated within the main HBO site. The site includes schedules and more.
