Time Warner Touts HBO as Media Giant’s Earnings Star

MarketWatch: Time Warner is keeping mum on the latest subscriber numbers for its stand-alone HBO Now service, but execs say they are learning plenty about the growing platform that is building a base, boosting revenues and buoying the overall business. “We continue to see significant growth in both users and usage of our digital platforms and we expect that to continue,” CEO Jeff Bewkes said. HBO was paraded as the star of Time Warner’s earnings report, which improved compared with the year before and surprised many on Wall Street.
