  • HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007
    1 HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007 Submitted by Gareth Andrew James to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English, January 2011. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. ........................................ 2 Abstract The thesis offers a revised institutional history of US cable network Home Box Office that expands on its under-examined identity as a monthly subscriber service from 1972 to 1994. This is used to better explain extensive discussions of HBO‟s rebranding from 1995 to 2007 around high-quality original content and experimentation with new media platforms. The first half of the thesis particularly expands on HBO‟s origins and early identity as part of publisher Time Inc. from 1972 to 1988, before examining how this affected the network‟s programming strategies as part of global conglomerate Time Warner from 1989 to 1994. Within this, evidence of ongoing processes for aggregating subscribers, or packaging multiple entertainment attractions around stable production cycles, are identified as defining HBO‟s promotion of general monthly value over rivals. Arguing that these specific exhibition and production strategies are glossed over in existing HBO scholarship as a result of an over-valuing of post-1995 examples of „quality‟ television, their ongoing importance to the network‟s contemporary management of its brand across media platforms is mapped over distinctions from rivals to 2007.

  • Phd Manuscript 190429 Plain Text
    The Presence of Performance and the Stakes of Serial Drama: Accrual, Transience, Companionship Elliott Logan MPhil (University of Queensland, 2013) BA, Hons (University of Queensland, 2009) BA (University of Queensland, 2007) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2018 School of Communication and Arts Abstract This thesis shows how performance is a critically neglected but crucial aspect of serial television drama as an art form. One of serial drama’s obvious storytelling attractions is its ability to involve viewers in relationships between characters over long periods of time. Such involvement takes place through a recurring structure of episodes and seasons, whose unfolding reflects the extensive, ongoing history through which interpersonal bonds form and develop, deepen and decay. The characters we watch onscreen are embodied and performed by actors. Television studies, however, has persistently overlooked screen performance, hampering appreciation of serial drama’s affinity with long-term relationships as a resource for aesthetic significance. Redressing such neglect, this thesis directs new critical attention to expressive stylistic relationships between serial form, screen performance, and the subject of companionship in some recent US serial dramas. The focus of that attention is a particular aesthetic quality: the provisional, which emerges through serial drama’s distinctive tension between permanence and transience. In the first chapter, I argue that the provisional is central to an affinity between screen performance, seriality in television drama, and companionship as an aspect of human life. Chapters Two and Three then show how the art of the provisional in particular series has been underappreciated due to television studies’ neglect of performance and expressiveness as dimensions of serial form in television fiction.

  • Actor Bernsen Enjoying Ride of Derby Movie Project: Akron Beacon Journal
    Actor Bernsen enjoying ride of derby movie project: Akron Beacon Journal By Rich Heldenfels, Beacon Journal staff writer POSTED: 06:34 p.m. EST, Nov 20, 2009 Corbin Bernsen after crossing the finish line at Derby Downs Friday. The actor has written a screenplay with a story line involving the All-American Soap Box Derby and is in town to scout out the location for filming.(Karen Schiely/Akron Beacon Journal) Actor-producer-director Corbin Bernsen stood gleefully at the bottom of the hill at Derby Downs minutes after having ridden down in an All-American Soap Box Derby racer. ''It's unbelievable,'' he said. ''No, you're not going 8,000 miles an hour but it's pure. Simple. It's clean. It's just a real thrill. And you know what's funny? . It actually sustains. I'm still smiling. It's not like it's over and then it's OK, get me to my next computer thing. As much as I want to go back up there, I wish my littlest son were here. I wish all my sons were here right now. They would have the biggest smiles on their face.'' The words poured from the voluble Bernsen, whose credits include L.A. Law, Major League and Psych. He was feeling something firsthand that is familiar to the generations of racers who have passed through Akron, or dreamed of getting there. It is something Bernsen sensed was important when he read a story about the derby's financial woes in USA Today. And the story led him to write, in a rapid six weeks, a derby-themed screenplay.
