Episode 5: HBO Gets in the Ring
We take a step back to explore how a little company called Home Box Office went from serving B-movies to 325 homes in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania to become the juggernaut that we know as HBO. In the process, HBO, became the standard by which all other cable companies would have to measure themselves -- after all, it’s not TV. It’s HBO.
You're listening to Business Wars from Wondery!
Series Description
Netflix vs. HBO. Nike vs. Adidas. Business is war. Sometimes the prize is your wallet or your attention. Sometimes, it’s just the fun of beating the other guy. The outcome of these battles shapes what we buy and how we live.
Business Wars gives you the unauthorized, real story of what drives these companies and their leaders, inventors, investors and executives to new heights -- or to ruin. Hosted by David Brown, former anchor of Marketplace. From Wondery, the network behind Dirty John and American History Tellers.
In this season of Business Wars: Netflix vs. Blockbuster, we get into the nitty gritty of Blockbuster and the streaming revolution, binge watching, binging shows, how we consume media, film, tv, binge worthy shows, binge worthy netflix shows, and all sorts of things! The Business Wars podcast is a business podcast from Wondery!
