might be a good time for netflix to sign up and poach some of the hbo shows if their contracts are coming up
Stankey screwed up DTV then moved him to HBO where he has no experience in media. After Stankey screwed up DTV they combined it with wireless under Donovan and he didn't improve DTV and is taking wireless down the tube. Lori Lee runs international and her skill is she's a woman. No wonder AT&T is laying off thousands. If they want HBO to be like Netflix they should have just bought Netflix
I want more dragons and more cowbell!
Yeah like that other guy put it its going to be rough every year until you get laid off or quit from loosing your nerve. It's the T way.
I look forward to all the new programming at HBO featuring the multi faceted and diverse people of Texas. Iam also looking forward to the Randall Stephenson interpersonal multifaceted documentary of how 1 guy took his father in laws business, and remade it into his own futuristic vision of corporate wealth and visionary success.
HBO will be complete garbage in a year. I hope that last season of GOT is wrapping up. Enjoy it! There won't be anything else of value coming out.
Former at$t tech and seen this coming a mile away. At$t toxic and poisons everything they touch. Just eliminated all at$t svcs. Switched to TMobile (far cheaper then employee discount & free netflix). SlingTv works well for us and offers the channels and along with an antenna picking up NBC, CBS, ABC & Fox, no need for a monopolized conglomerate motivated purely by greed. The days of dealing with the corruption and scams diguised as billing are gone and we couldn't be happier. For those unfamiliar, don't feel hogtied by a company that couldn't care less, there are a number of alternatives out there waiting to be explored. And, like us, you may be pleasantly surprised. Worried about HBO? Don't be because it will change into something unrecognizable soon enough.
Inc talent bleed @ HBO just like the rest of the company.
HBO is bigger with 142M subscribers versus Netflix 118M.
Hbo is much more bigger than netflix netflix don’t even make money so quit try be like Netflix
If people want Netflix thay will buy Netflix!!!!!! We need good quality old fashioned TV two!!!
The upside is they will now be able to get Badges!
It will make up for the cuts in benefits.
Every year under AT&T ownership will be rough if you work for a living.
Omg, , here we go, another company about to get screwed by T's incompetence, LOL, just like DirecTV , the disruptors in action
Understatement
