HBO’s ‘Silicon Valley’ to Stream Free Episode on Amazon’s Twitch

HBO, ahead of the premiere of season two of tech-startup spoof “Silicon Valley,” is teaming with Amazon.com’s twitch.tv videogame-casting service for a promo event that will include a free stream of the first season’s pilot episode.[…] According to Twitch, the event will be the first time a TV network has streamed a full episode on the service. TBS staged a similar stunt on Twitch for “King of the Nerds” season three in January, which included a preview of the first 30 minutes of the new season’s premiere. – Todd Spangler, Variety
