HBO

Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

HBO, popularly known as Home Box Office, is a 24/7 Hollywood movie channel, offers a wide range of popular movies, first-run films, original movies, and original series for its global viewers. Initially, HBO was in the control of Time Inc. and after its merger with Warner Communications in 1989, it became part of Time Warner, and still enjoys the name.

HBO has achieved massive recognition for offering very high quality original programming to its audience. HBO adapts a subscription-only service and does not carry normal commercials so it helps HBO in allowing explicit themes such as violence, sex and vulgarity in the contents. Eventually HBO is known for airing original programming apart from theatrical films and ironically most of these programs contain huge sum of sacrilege and objectionable contents in compare to other movie channels.

Specifically, HBO was the first movie channel which grabbed the special rights for Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones from Fox and aired the movie without first giving it a pay-per-view cable release. Apart from this, HBO also has pay-cable rights to its sequel, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of The Sith.

HBO procures exclusive licensing rights from major Hollywood studios including Columbia TriStar, NBC Universal, Paramount, DreamWorks and Warner Bros for the newest and prime time blockbuster movies and air them on its broad network in Asia. On its Sunday prime time slot, HBO airs the latest and biggest Hollywood blockbusters as movie premiere and every Monday night is fixed for award-winning and original HBO Series that incite and entertain the viewers.

Hulu going Mobile?

Monday, December 15th, 2008

Could online video site Hulu be appearing on mobile phones any time soon? B&C reports that Hulu CEO Jason Kilar delivering a National Association of Broadcasters keynote on Wedneday evening suggested that the NBCU and News Corp.-backed site could be developed for other platforms, including mobile phones. Kilar did not give any specific details, but said that Hulu needn’t be identical on every platform and “…anything connected to the Internet would be a good fit for Hulu.”

This isn’t the first time Hulu’s hinted about a possible mobile move. At CTIA, NBCU chief digital officer George Kliavkoff said in keynote he didn’t “know why we couldn’t do something similar [to Hulu] for mobile.” When he was pressed further about a Hulu Mobile, he said, “The concept of putting multiple partners together to create a good destination on mobile devices is something we are interested in, but who knows if that would be under the Hulu brand or not – that’s total speculation.” Plus, NBCU has spare spectrum–about 25-30 percent of it not being used, while with Telemundo, 65 percent is idle. Kliavkoff said the spectrum is “available to us to do whatever,” including a wireless service.
