HBO.
President Clarke Willie looked at the people in the conference room, his face filled with joy.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the financial statements for the fourth quarter of 1998 have been published. I would like to tell you that up to now, our HBO TV station has more than 38 million subscribers in the United States, surpassing paramount online, and the number of subscribers ranks first in the United States."
The voice fell.
Production director dinont, vice president of operations Smith, advertising director Trina, marketing director EVA and other executives applauded in unison.
"Yes, we finally got the first place."
"Since the first place has been won, nothing can be lost."
"That's for sure. Lei Shidong is old, but he doesn't recognize it. They lost to us. It's not a matter of course."
"Ha ha, anyway, we won!"
"Yes, it's not a waste of our hard work a while ago."
38 million subscribers, the number one in the United States.
You know, a quarter ago, HBO and paramount online, two cable pay TV stations, competed for the first place for as long as three years.
Now, the results are finally revealed.
HBO has 38 million subscribers, surpassing paramount online's 37.2 million subscribers.
"Be quiet, ladies and gentlemen."
"At the same time, our revenue in the last quarter was $420 million, up 6.7% from a year earlier," said Clarke Willie, president
"Among Time Warner's subsidiaries, this achievement is higher than time's $310 million, second only to Warner Bros.'s $1.2 billion and time broadcasting's $850 million, ranking third."
Between the words, the face of President Clarke Willie is full of pride.
Since 1992, President Clarke Willie has been the president of HBO TV station. A series of reforms have been carried out to make HBO TV station develop.
In 1991, HBO's annual revenue was $3.4;
However, in January 1999, HBO's revenue in a single quarter was as high as US $420 million, and the annual revenue exceeded US $1.5 billion.
For all this, Clarke Willie can be described as a meritorious.
He is worthy of the chief meritorious official!
"Without Mr. Willie's leadership, it is absolutely impossible for us to achieve what we have achieved today!" Production director dinont praised.
"That's right!"
Mr. Smith, vice president of operations, echoed: "I expect that Mr. Willie will be promoted to the first vice president of Time Warner by the group's mid year meeting in June this year."
ha-ha!
Who says Lao Mei is honest?
In fact, it is inevitable that subordinates flatter their superiors in enterprises all over the world.
Who doesn't like subordinates who speak well?
"Well, it's too early to say. What I have done is not enough. I will continue to work hard in the future. " Willie waved and humbled himself.
"Why?"
At this time, a subordinate pushed open the door of the conference room and submitted a report to Smith, vice president of operations.
Smith looked at the report in his hand and made a sound of surprise.
"Why?" Willie asked with a smile.
Smith didn't speak, but passed the report to the president Willie.
"Smith, it's a big day. Don't look so ugly. Be happy..."
Half way through, Willy's face changed and his smile was gone.
Willy's gaffe, completely fell into the eyes of the people around, production director dinont glanced at the above title - UPN report!
.......
Paramount online (Viacom)
"Damn Zucker!"
Ray Shidong, chairman of Viacom group, roared: "we can be overtaken by HBO, but I never thought that Jack's UPN TV station had 21 million subscribers in the United States, second only to paramount online and Warner's HBO."
The number of subscribers of UPN network ranks third in the field of cable pay TV in the United States.
This achievement is startling!
After all, whether it's paramount online or Warner's HBO TV station, they can have more than 30 million subscribers. That's the result of their years of development. The manpower and material resources they invested during this period are undoubtedly huge.
But!
How many years has Zucker's UPN been acquired?
When it comes to pay TV, which is the third largest in the United States, how can leishidong not be surprised?!
Willie, President of HBO, was also full of shock when he saw this report.
"Everyone, in the field of cable pay TV, from now on, we will have another competitor!" Thunder Stone East sink a way.
"Yes, boss."
Several executives present responded immediately.
The reason why UPN TV station has the third largest number of users in the United States is that "walking dead" definitely contributes a lot.
Of course, the two animated dramas of SpongeBob SquarePants and piggy page are also the main force.
The key is "no advertising strategy"!
The "no advertising strategy" of American cable pay TV was initiated by HBO TV station, which began to implement in 2001. This initiative has won numerous audiences and favorable comments, laying a solid foundation for HBO TV station to dominate the field of cable TV.
But now, its creator is Zhuke!
It's Zhuke's UPN network!
No advertising strategy is absolutely an influential measure in the history of cable TV!
........
Zhuke, the little emperor of TV
That's the headline of the California entertainment this morning.
[UPN, with 21.25 million subscribers, ranks third in the field of cable pay TV in the United States;]
[WB network, the fifth largest public television station in the United States in terms of overall ratings and audience numbers in the fourth quarter of 1998;]
Once the report is published, who dares to say that Zhuke's name as "little TV emperor" is a false name?
On this day, many people who bought "California entertainment" all gave a burst of exclamation.
"Mr. ward, cool!"
"I thought he could only do cartoons and variety shows, but who would have thought that he could do so well in TV series?"
"According to newspaper estimates, Mr. Zucker Wald's assets now exceed $3 billion."
"Yes, this huge wealth is enough to put him in the top 400, no, even the top 300 of the 1999 Forbes rich list."
The public began to talk, and the major media also forwarded the report one after another.
America's pursuit of wealth transcends everything.
However
When Zhuke saw the report, his eyelids jumped.
"Still less than HBO."
"In 1998, HBO's annual revenue was $1.5 billion. I remember that one year in the future, its revenue will be $13 billion, and its subscribers will be more than 80 million. "
"UPN TV network has a long way to go
"The third watch" is here.
