This conversation between the HBO boss and the new ATT boss :snoop:

Mr. Plepler tried to pin down Mr. Stankey on the question of how much AT&T planned to invest. Without specifying any certain amount, Mr. Stankey said, “I do believe there needs to be stepped-up investment.”

Mr. Plepler interjected: “Let’s give him a hand for that simple sentence! That simple sentence deserves a hand!”

“Also,” Mr. Stankey said, “we’ve got to make money at the end of the day, right?”

“We do that,” Mr. Plepler responded, to scattered applause.


“Yes, you do,” Mr. Stankey said. “Just not enough.”

“Oh, now, now, be careful,” Mr. Plepler said.


Could be the beginning of the end of HBO as we know it. And they claimed for months they wouldn’t touch HBO.Mergers are fukking wack

how about this other arrogant statement


He also made the case that HBO’s employees should consider themselves fortunate to have AT&T as their new corporate parent, rather than a company in the same business.

“The good news for many of you in this organization is that it’s not Fox or Disney sitting up on this stage now,” Mr. Stankey said. “There’s virtually no duplication with AT&T in what we do.”

In other words, your jobs are safe.

like I said they need to stop looking at HBO and focus on an entire Warner Media product that includes HBO and DC

You have the distributor telling the creator how to create:francis:

RIP HBO....:francis::rip:

he's not even telling him how... he's saying what they did was good but I want more... and a lot of it..

you cant go from producing several hours a month to several hours a day in under a year... the thing is since its a cable channel .. they gonna try to strongarm carriers into having the channel..

And their jobs aren't safe; if you have to be reassured of tjis, then you're in a period of when their will be instability. Six months from now, they're going to have this conversation again after AT&T does their audit of the staffing situation throughout Time Warner. Contractors are going to be the first to go.

I hope this deal falls apart the same way it did with AOL/TimeWarner...:scust:

Dude is just saying make more content and get more subscribers. And really HBO is not hitting like that to be resisting. They got GoT that's ending and uh . . .

Yeah but it never ends with At&T they will effectively cannibalize HBO with their demands, Quality over Quantity... They want HBO to become netflix part 2. HBO is good for what it is... :yeshrug: You'll see this merger is not gonna end well for them. this dumbass gonna water HBO down.

Cannabalize means introducing a new product that competes with your existing one. That's not what's happening.
HBO could offer more content to a wider audience. Do you think there is a lack of unsigned artistic talent out there unable to deliver HBO level quality? I don't. :yeshrug:
