Former Time Warner Chief Jeff Bewkes: How HBO Revolutionized Television

Technology News

HBO initially centered around bringing the home theater experience of watching unedited and uninterrupted movies into consumers’ homes. Since its debut in the early 70s and much of the 80s, HBO has been the leader in the premium-cable space, allowing customers to watch live boxing matches, comedy specials, concerts, and ad-free movies.

Original scripted series became a lifeline for HBO, with its first few hits “Dream On” and “The Larry Sanders Show.”
