  • Catherine Johnson
    Catherine Johnson TELE-BRANDING IN TVIII The network as brand and the programme as brand In the era of TVIII, characterised by deregulation, multimedia conglomeration, expansion and increased competition, branding has emerged as a central industrial practice. Focusing on the case of HBO, a particularly successful brand in TVIII, this paper argues that branding can be understood not simply as a feature of television networks, but also as a characteristic of television programmes. It begins by examining how the network as brand is constructed and conveyed to the consumer through the use of logos, slogans and programmes. The role of programmes in the construction of brand identity is then complicated by examining the sale of programmes abroad, where programmes can be seen to contribute to the brand identity of more than one network. The paper then goes on to examine programme merchandising, an increasingly central strategy in TVIII. Through an analysis of different merchandising strategies the paper argues that programmes have come to act as brands in their own right, and demonstrates that the academic study of branding not only reveals the development of new industrial practices, but also offers a way of understanding the television programme and its consumption by viewers in a period when the texts of television are increasingly extended across a range of media platforms. TVIII, at least at this juncture, must be considered the age of brand marketing. (Rogers et al. 2002, p. 48) ‘Branding’ has emerged as a central concern of the television industry in the age of digital convergence.

  • TENTH ANNUAL CHARITY DAY SEPTEMBER 11, 2014 • NEW YORK Thursday, September 11, 2014 Marked BGC’S Tenth Annual Charity Day
    TENTH ANNUAL CHARITY DAY SEPTEMBER 11, 2014 • NEW YORK Thursday, September 11, 2014 marked BGC’s Tenth Annual Charity Day. BGC Partners, together with its affiliate Cantor Fitzgerald, raised approximately $12 million globally on this single day for dozens of charities around the world. To date, Charity Day has raised approximately $113 million for hundreds of charitable causes. Held in commemoration of the 658 Cantor employees and 61 Eurobrokers employees lost in the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks, each anniversary is a poignant occasion for us. Every year, BGC Partners and our affiliate Cantor Fitzgerald, in conjunction with the Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund, strive to turn a tragic day into one that is positive and uplifting by distributing 100% of our global revenues on Charity Day to the Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund and dozens of charities around the world. The Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund, initially created to assist families of Cantor employees who were lost on 9/11, has since broadened its mission to provide aid to victims of terrorism, natural disasters, emergencies, direct service charities and wounded members of the military. We are thankful to all our celebrity guests who joined us in New York on Charity Day and raised money for tremendous causes. In addition, many thanks to our clients, brokers and charities whose commitment, support, enthusiasm and graciousness made Charity Day a spectacular success.

  • 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.

    MoMA | press | Releases | 2001 | Discussion on The Sopranos Page 1 of 3 For Immediate Release February 2001 THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART HOSTS DISCUSSION ON THE SOPRANOS Discussion with David Chase and media writer Ken Auletta February 12, 2001 The Sopranos February 3-13, 2001 The Roy and Niuta Titus Theatre 1 The Museum of Modern Art presents a discussion of the HBO series The Sopranos with the series writer/director David Chase and noted media writer and author Ken Auletta, February 12, 2001 at 6:00 p.m. at the Roy and Niuta Titus Theatre 1. Recording the domestic dramas and business anxieties of family living the bourgeois life in a pleasant New Jersey suburb, The Sopranos is a saga of middle-class life in America at the turn of the century. Chronicled in twenty-six hour-long episodes, the first two seasons from the series will be shown in two four-day sequences at The Museum of Modern Art, from February 3-13 at the Roy and Niuta Titus Theatre 1. "The Sopranos is a cynical yet deeply felt look at this particular family man," remarks Laurence Kardish, Senior Curator, Department of Film and Video, who organized the program. "David Chase and his team have created a series distinguished by its bone-dry humor and understated, quirky, and stinging perspective - not usually seen on television." Renowned for his savvy profiles of power players in the media, Ken Auletta will join David Chase for a discussion of The Sopranos at The Museum on February 12. The Department of Film and Video gratefully acknowledges HBO for making the series available for public viewing.

  • BADA BING! the SOPRANOS and QUIXOTIC REALISM August Braddock1
    BADA BING! THE SOPRANOS AND QUIXOTIC REALISM August Braddock1 ABSTRACT Often considered the television series that brought about the second golden age of television, The Sopranos can be viewed as a quixotic narrative. This is especially true when looking at the sixth and final season of the series, with particular focus on the final sequence of the series finale, titled “Made in America.” Not only is the entire series quixotic through its acknowledgement of the impact of real-life East coast Italian- American mafia families and previous cinematic portrayals of mob life, the most noteworthy being The Godfather trilogy and Goodfellas, but also through its Byronic hero, Anthony “Tony” Soprano. Furthermore, the series finale of The Sopranos invites audience participation through the act of leaving the narrative open – no member of the audience knows exactly what happened to their beloved Byronic hero and are left to their own devices to craft an individual conclusion. Through the acts of calling back to the nonfictional and cinematic renditions of mobster life and culture, including a Byronic hero as the series‟ protagonist, and through the act of inviting audience participation to conclude the much beloved series, The Sopranos proves itself to be a modern quixotic mobster crime drama. KEYWORDS: The Sopranos; Quixotic; DeCavelcante; Byronic Hero. BADA BING! THE SOPRANOS E REALISMO QUIXÓTICO RESUMO Considerada muitas vezes a série de televisão responsável pela segunda era dourada da televisão, The Sopranos pode ser lida como uma narrativa quixotesca. Isso é especialmente verdade no que toca à última temporada da série, em especial a sequência final do final da série, intitulada “Made in America”.
