  • 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.

  • Department Directory 2012-13
    TWIN CITIES CAMPUS 1 Department Directory 2012-13 The department directory contains listings for all colleges and administrative departments and the units, programs, and centers that report to them. This information is also on the web at www.umn.edu/twincities/directory.html. Some information from the introduction section of the former paper directory and department listings for the Duluth, Morris, Crookston, and Rochester campuses can be found in other pdfs on this site. Due to space limitations, department listings are limited to functions and services directory users are most likely to need. Therefore, you will not find every staff person listed in this section. Many listings in this section have a delivery code for use in addressing campus mail. The code appears below the listing title (e.g., del code 3061) or sometimes with a second or third address. If a department listing lacks a delivery code, the code for an individual staff or faculty member can be found under the individual’s listing using People Search. Abbreviations and addresses listed in this section are for campus mail use only. Refer to www.umn.edu/systemwide /directories/building.html for an index of building abbreviations, full names of buildings, and US mail addresses.
