HBO to reshuffle programming amid subscriber slump
HBO plans a major shift away from new series, increasing movies and sports, and launching a large advertising push as it fights flat subscriber growth of 14.5 million while rival channels like Showtime hold 5.4 million. The plan comes after earlier moves toward scrambling signals and new charges to satellite dish owners.
