  • 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.

  • THE LADY and the DALE, a New Documentary Series, Launches January 31 on HBO
    THE LADY AND THE DALE, a new documentary series, launches January 31 on HBO Produced by the Duplass brothers, the series details the rise and fall of transgender businesswoman Elizabeth Carmichael and her radical automobile The Dale. MIAMI, FL. January 19, 2021 - THE LADY AND THE DALE, a new four-episode documentary series directed by Nick Cammilleri and Zackary Drucker, tells the story of Elizabeth Carmichael, an entrepreneur who rose to fame during the oil crisis of the decade 1970 with the promotion of an energy efficient car known as The Dale. At a time when three automakers dominated the road, Elizabeth launched a low-cost, futuristic three-wheeler that promised to go over 100 miles per gallon of gasoline. The production premieres on January 31 on HBO and HBO GO. To see the key art, click here: http://www.hbolapress.com/images/multimedia/Njcx Elizabeth Carmichael, who had previously lived a criminal life fleeing the authorities, always cooked an absurd chaos around her like the time she claimed to have brought weapons to Cuba during the revolution and was wanted by the FBI. With several ex-wives and children in her wake, she eventually married her soul mate Vivian Barrett. Together with their five children, they lived on the run from the law for many years, as Liz began her transition in 1966. As a woman in the 1970s, with her hidden past and a new identity as a widow with a business degree, Liz Carmichael founded the 20th Century Motor Car company and made a name for itself in the male-dominated business world.
