 If the entire CNN staff were fired and replaced with a room of feces
 throwing monkeys, not only would the ratings improve, but it'd be more
 respected.

 Can you tell that, for reasons I don't want to go into, my household now

[TV orNotTV] HBO: It's not TV, it's unplugged

2014-10-15 Thread Brad Beam
As long rumored, HBO will start offering online streaming service next year.
 
How will it be distributed? Perhaps:
(1) Through existing cable providers.
(2) Through online providers (Amazon, Google, et al).
(3) Directly to customers, like Netflix.

Game between Dallas and San Francisco in January of '94.

As for Mike Goldberg I heard some of the clips of his disastrous telecast,

Re: [TV orNotTV] Boomerang to get makeover

2014-10-15 Thread Mark Jeffries
Boomerang has been overseas for some time now--the differences in the
relaunch seem to be that the channel won't be commercial-free in the U.S.
anymore and that contemporary series (originals or overseas acquisitions)
will be added to the mix, which will probably piss off the hardcores who
want to watch The Roman Holidays or Goober and the Ghost Chasers or the
other more obscure H-B titles.  However, one has to realize that Dexter's
Lab and PowerPuff Girls are now 20 years old and that classic TV
channels are going to have to add post-1980 programs to the mix.  In the
case of an animation channel, since the 90s were the decade of the
revitalization of television animation, showing 90s titles is almost a
given, especially for the target demo who watched them when they were first
run.

2014-10-15 Thread M-D November
If there were such a thing, that means he only needs to host the Grammy 
Awards to get a Hosting EGOT.

[TV orNotTV] Re: HBO: It's not TV, it's unplugged

2014-10-15 Thread M-D November
HBO is using the phrase over-the-top in their PR - that's the same 
language WWE used when launching the WWE Network earlier this year at CES. 
 That confirms that the online-only subscriptions will sidestep the 
cable/satellite providers entirely.

Cost is the huge unknown here.  HBO will need to weigh their pricing 
against Netflix and Hulu, and while the two existing services aren't 
exactly carbon copies of HBO, potential customers will certainly make the 
comparison anyway.  (Oh, and Amazon, but not really.)  The $8-9 price point 
seems to be the sweet spot for online programming services (WWE comes in 
higher at $9.99, but they've got a niche audience).  Assuming HBOGo remains 
the same as it is now (movie library + originals immediately after first 
airing [except LWT] + library of old original series), a $9-10 price point 
might be reasonable.  But if the online subscription includes access to a 
stream of the actual channels, I could see that price going up.

I guess we'll see.

 As long rumored, HBO will start offering online streaming service next 
 year.

  

 How will it be distributed? Perhaps:

 (1) Through existing cable providers.

 (2) Through online providers (Amazon, Google, et al).

 (3) Directly to customers, like Netflix.
