HBO Orders Bar to Stop Screening ‘Game of Thrones’

Village Voice: HBO has sent a letter to Williamsburg bar Videology telling it not to show “Game of Thrones” episodes on Sunday nights. “They said that it’s not allowed to be shown in a public setting,” said the bar’s co-owner, James Leet. It’s the first time the bar has been asked not to screen a particular show. For the past two years, Videology, a bar and screening room that also has a video rental service, has shown episodes of the popular fantasy series during current seasons on Sundays at 9 p.m. The bar is currently airing “Mad Men” episodes, also on Sunday nights.
