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.

Ita Di Prometheus Nei Cinema Mondiali
. Sir Ridley Scott, il celebrato realizzatore che ha reinventato il genere della fantascienza quando ha diretto Alien, un rivoluzionario mix di fantascienza e horror, seguito da Blade Runner, uno dei più acclamati e influenti film moderni di genere, offre il suo caratteristico marchio di azione, emozioni, spaventi e molto altro, grazie all’uscita di Prometheus nei cinema mondiali. Con Prometheus, Scott ha creato una nuova mitologia, in cui una squadra di esploratori scopre degli indizi sulle origini dell’umanità, che li porta a compiere un viaggio eccitante a bordo della nave spaziale Prometheus, fino alle profondità più oscure dell’universo, dove avverrà una battaglia terribile per salvare la razza umana. Sebbene non abbia diretto una pellicola di fantascienza negli ultimi tre decenni, l’interesse di Ridley Scott verso questo genere non è mai venuto meno. Avendo dato vita a due dei più acclamati film di genere di tutti i tempi, il suo ritorno doveva essere contrassegnato da un’idea notevole. “Negli ultimi decenni, si è abusato dell’azione, dei mostri e della fantascienza al cinema”, sostiene Scott. “Quindi la domanda fondamentale era: quanto possiamo essere originali?”. “E’ da tanti anni che non faccio film di fantascienza. Io sono stato impegnato in altre pellicole e a esplorare generi diversi, ma la ragione di questa assenza è anche legata al fatto di non aver trovato nulla che valesse la pena realizzare in termini di verità, originalità e forza. Prometheus possiede invece tutte queste caratteristiche”. Il concetto alla base di Prometheus ha avuto inizio con una figura appena accennata in Alien e che sembrava dimenticata una volta che il protagonista xenomorfo è balzato letteralmente in scena.
