How executives, Bob Greenblatt and Kevin Reilly, were ousted?. Andy Forssell, Ann Sarnoff and Casey Bloys were given more prominent roles thanks to their political class, with no technology or marketing experience ti attest for, tgey are positioning themselves as Kilar’s new brain? LOL... along with Jeff Zucker, who still heads up news and sports and was the only division left unaffected. With all of this disruption, TheWrap has some burning questions: How long for the EG/HBO TO IMPLODE?

Most of the sub numbers are from free accounts given to 1gig internet customers. I have hbo Max and had no idea. I never watch it. It’s not an available app on my lg smart tv. Which is another miss in a long line of misses.
text book clueless101, John Stankey is going to blame Kilar for the fiasco and ask for his resignation.
And there goes the fire and fury 2030 , and the new 2060 Plan will be announced thereafter.
News Flash! It was already busted when Stinky bailed on it and handed the rotting corpse to Kilar.
It broke the day that Stinky stood up in an auditorium at HBO and basically told everyone there that despite their past success in building the HBO organization; they were now working for AT&T and he was the new Sheriff in town. This truly happened, there were videos of his monologue out on YouTube which are now "disappeared". This has been a record time for AT&T to decimate a successful business. Everyone on the Board must be very, very proud.
where is loser Elliot? LOL
40M subs×15=60 million net
REAL COST:
HBomax/EG SUPPLEMENT INFRASTRUCTURE 1.4 B.
Time warner Inc. purchase price Under the terms of the merger, Time Warner Inc. shareholders received 1.437 shares of AT&T common stock, in addition to $53.75 in cash, per share of Time Warner Inc. 1 As a result, AT&T issued 1,185M shares of common stock and paid $42.5B in cash. Including net debt from Time Warner, we now have $180.4B in net debt
add implementation costs, operatiobal, legal, taxes, regulatory, fee contents SLA's...
= a friking scam.
I have friends that were moved to TW group from AT&T Business. The BIG Plan to grow TW is to have the mobility and wireline sales people sell the very complex audience/big data solutions to current clients. Really a silly idea. The vast majority of business sellers in the Chow and Hussain groups don't know or understand their own core products; let alone possess the wherewithal to carry a meaningful conversation about big data, marketing, advertising, etc. Someone, please, send me some of whatever the folks in Dallas are smoking. I want to be a Super Hero in my own head too.
If AT&T would learn just a single thing from these screwups, remember one message from this series.
Remember this: you don't know what you don't know, is a pretty potent source of inexperience
and the obvious results.
Karma is a b–ch, my concept is simple, what goes around, comes around, that what you give, so shall you receive...LMAO
What do you expect?
Ratty, Stinky and the Board of Misdirectors could not run a lemonade stand! Everything they touch is doomed to failure. Well, except the ever increasing balance of their bank accounts...
Warner is a basket case!!
Variety said that only 4.1 million subs were converted to HBO Max, which is nothing short of a flop.
That 4.1 million number might even be too high.
