Summary of Dade Hayes's Binge Times - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The final season of fantasy TV series Game of Thrones was premiered at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. It was a send-off to the most-watched show in the history of HBO. #2 The Radio City premiere was a bittersweet affair, as the company was undergoing a massive restructuring process. Richard Plepler, the company's longtime New York headquarters building's owner, had already packed his office and was about to leave the company. #3 John Stankey, the 57-year-old Eagle Scout who grew up in Southern California, was in charge of restructuring HBO and breaking down the silos that made Time Warner a collection of largely autonomous nation-states.
He also wanted to take on his greatest enemy on its own turf: Netflix. #4 Standing in the Radio City lobby, Stankey looked relaxed in an unbuttoned blue oxford dress shirt. He ate small handfuls of popcorn from one of the red-and-white-striped boxes being handed out to attendees.
