The whole idea that there’s a lot of people out there that want to drop multichannel TV, and just have a Netflix or an HBO — that’s not right. Look for the data, you won’t find them.
Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes • Once again shooting down any chance of a web-only HBO GO service, following an inquiry by a Barclay’s Capital analyst during Time Warner’s earnings call. Bewkes told investors that the 7 million additional subscribers to HBO and Cinemax in the last 6 months was proof that there was still an extremely large market for cable-exclusivity. “There are tens of millions of homes with multichannel TV… [that] aren’t currently subscribing to HBO,” said Bewkes, “That’s the opportunity.” source (via • follow)
