You can't make this stuff up, even in Hollywood. If the success of HBO MAX is an indicator of Jeremy's leadership, Then AT&T Communications IT does not have a leg to stand on.

"Regarding Legg’s move to AT&T, Kilar said, “Jeremy, through his leadership of the technology organization, has had such a positive and material impact on WarnerMedia, with last week’s launch of HBO Max being just the most recent example.”

Oh, they stream HBO MAX on their phones, so even though it's the "gold" standard per them I guess that is why there is no 4K HDR, or Dolby Vision Atmos .

randy and john get together with popcorn and stream friends on their phones. they still can't get over the technology and brings back memories of when they used to watch friends when it was on tv. so they bought them so they could always have access for free.

Best description I have seen:

"Reviews of the service have called it an “odd hodgepodge of content” with a focus on older titles instead of new originals" .

HBO Max app looks pretty much like any streaming app out there, not much excitement. The thousand hours of content isn't a great selling point. For the gen x who is the target audience for Friends, guess what, they already watched it on Netflex. Harry Potter series, the millennial might have watched when the movies first came out, they moved onto other social media and video apps. TV is what their parents watched. The lack of distribution on Roku and Amazon Fire wraps up the doomed launch. Technology, content, delivery are all yarns. I wouldn't know if Legg is a good executive or not, but he delivered exactly what Stank wanted, a noncompetitive product in a very competitive market.

Why didn’t they do this when they 1st bought the company? Randall gave it to Stankey who couldn’t direct a kindergarten play.

poor hulu guy - i am sure he has high hopes that will get dashed when finds out the real environment of the cesspool. then he will do a few things and take his golden parachute. just another leader getting his share from the cesspool.
