  • 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.

  • Melissa Etheridge
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JUNE 1, 2010 BOULEVARD CASINO PRESENTS MELISSA ETHERIDGE LIVE AT THE RED ROBINSON SHOW THEATRE FRIDAY, AUGUST 20 Coquitlam, BC – Celebrating the release of her new album, Fearless Love, singer-songwriter Melissa Etheridge is gearing up for her summer tour which will take her to Europe and across North America. Born in Leavenworth, Kansas, Etheridge first picked up a guitar at the age of eight and began playing in local bands during her teens. After completing high school, she was accepted as a student at Boston’s Berklee College of Music but left after only one year to make her way as a performer in Los Angeles. Her bluesy vocal style and riveting stage presence quickly earned her a strong following. Her hits – including “Bring Me Some Water,” “Ain’t It Heavy,” “I’m the Only One,” “Come to My Window,” “I Want to Come Over,” “Angels Would Fall,” “I Run for Life” and “I Need to Wake Up” – have rewarded her with five Platinum albums, a pair of Grammy Awards, a Juno Award and an Academy Award for “Best Original Song” from the 2006 documentary film, An Inconvenient Truth. Just this past April, Fearless Love – her tenth studio album – was released arriving two years after her autobiographical The Awakening and six years after her battle with breast cancer. At this point, her accomplishments are endless and well-documented. This has allowed her to find herself in the enviable position of being able to make exactly the music she hears in her head and feels in her heart … that music embodies much of what we’ve come to anticipate from Etheridge – giant, soaring melodies, her bold, expressive voice, plenty of musical, lyrical and emotional drama – and it also embraces a freshness with the appearance of mandolin and more piano along with guest vocals from Joss Stone and Natasha Bedingfield.

  • Melissa Etheridge Is in a New Relationship with Best Friend
    Melissa Etheridge Is In a New Relationship with Best Friend After a nasty split from wife Tammy Lynn Michaels last year, Melissa Etheridge has entered the dating world again – with her best friend. Etheridge began dating Nurse Jackie creator Linda Wallem three months after the breakup. A friend of the couple tells People, “Melissa and Linda have been best friends for over 10 years,” adding that Linda was “best man” at Melissa’s wedding to Tammy in 2003. The new couple, who share the same birthday and turn 50 in May, “are in a committed relationship. They’re happy,” says the pal. Should you risk losing a friendship by taking it to the next level? Cupid’s Advice: If you’re feeling something more for your friend and want to take a risk, is it worth it? Cupid has some tips on how to know if you should take the jump: 1. Observe: Before actually asking your friend if he has feelings, too, and making things awkward, observe. Watch his interactions with other girls, and see if he treats you differently. 2. Ask yourself if you’re in love: Some confuse closeness and intimacy with love. Make sure you really have romantic feelings before you take the next big step. If you just think he’d make a good husband, but aren’t actually attracted to him, it might lead to heartbreak. 3. Think about the future: Not all couples are meant to last. Are you and your friend compatible romantically? If you don’t see the relationship lasting, it’s probably better to stay friends.
