HBO, the premium entertainment network, is strengthening its relationship with Vice, the maverick media company and news organization.

It announced on Thursday that it would broadcast a daily half-hour Vice newscast. The program is to run five days a week for 48 weeks a year. Richard Plepler, chief executive of HBO, said it would have its debut this year.

For Vice, which already produces a newsmagazine show for HBO, the deal forges an even closer relationship with a prestigious and successful media brand, a partnership that helped bring Vice an Emmy last year. HBO, in turn, receives many more hours of new programming as it prepares its stand-alone streaming service, HBO Now.

“It’s certainly one of our biggest investments with hours on the air,” said Michael Lombardo, the network’s president for programming. “I’ve been at HBO a very long time, and I can’t think of another producer we’ve ever done business with that will have that much time on HBO.”
