hbo TV station.

President Crach Willie looked at the people in the conference room, and his joy fell on his face.

"Everyone, the financial statements for the fourth quarter of 1998 have been released. Here I want to tell you that as of now, our hbo TV station's member subscribers in the United States have exceeded 38 million, surpassing Paramount Online, and ranked first in the United States."

The words fell.

Director of the production department, Dinonte's vice president of operations department, Smith, director of advertising department, Cuilina, director of marketing department, and other senior executives, applauded in unison.

"yes, we finally got Neighbors."

"Since you have won the first title, you can't lose anything."

"That's for sure. That guy Lei Shidong is old and doesn't recognize him. It's not natural for them to lose to us."

"Haha, we won anyway!"

"Yes, it's not in vain for our hard work some time ago."

With 38 million subscribed members, it is well deservedly No. 1 in the United States.

You should know that one quarter ago, hbo TV and Paramount Online, two cable pay TV stations, competed for the first place for three years.

Now, the result has finally been revealed.

hbo TV's 38 million subscribers exceeded Paramount Online's 37.2 million subscribers.

"Silent, ladies and gentlemen."

President Crach Willie raised his hand and said again: "At the same time, our revenue in the last quarter was $420 million, up 6.7 year-on-year."

"This achievement is higher than Time Warner's $310 million among its subsidiaries, and is second only to Time's $850 million from Warner Bros. Pictures' $1.2 billion Time Broadcasting Corporation, ranking third."

With the words, the face of President Crach Willie was filled with pride.

Since 1992, President Crach Willy has served as the president of HBO TV and has carried out a series of reforms to make HBO TV truly develop.

In 1991, hbo TV's annual revenue was US$3.4;

But in January 1999, hbo TV's revenue in just one quarter was as high as US$420 million, and its annual revenue exceeded US$1.5 billion.

Crach Willie has made outstanding contributions to all this.

He is the well-deserved chief hero!

"We can achieve what we have today, without Mr. Willy's leadership, it would be absolutely impossible!" praised Dinonte, director of the production department.

"That's right!"

Smith, vice president of operations, echoed: "I guess Mr. Willy will be promoted to the first vice president of the group (Time Warner) by the mid-year meeting in June this year."

hehe!

Who is the American straightforward?

In fact, among enterprises in various countries and regions around the world, subordinates flatter their superiors, which is inevitable.

Who doesn’t like a good subordinate?

"Hey hey, it's early now. I haven't done enough and I will continue to work hard in the future." Willie waved his hands repeatedly and humbled himself.

“Huh?”

At this moment, a subordinate pushed open the door to the conference room and handed a report to Smith, vice president of operations.

Smith looked at the report in his hand and immediately let out a burst of surprise.

"What?" Willie asked with a smile.

Smith had no words, but passed the statement to President Willie.

"Smith, it's a happy day. Don't look so ugly, be happy..."

Willie's expression changed and his smile disappeared halfway.

Willie's loss of composure completely fell into the eyes of everyone around him. The director of the production department, Dinonte, glanced at it and saw the report titled "upn" above!

.........

Paramount Online (Viacom TV)

"Damn Juke!!!"

Lei Shidong, chairman of Viacom Group, roared: "It's okay if we are surpassed by HBO, the old rival, but I never expected that Zhuke's upn TV station had 21 million subscribers in the United States quietly, second only to our Paramount Online and Warner's hbo."

The number of subscribers of upn TV network ranks third in the field of cable paid TV in the United States.

This result is shocking!

After all, whether it is Paramount Online or Warner's hbo TV station, it is the result of their years of development, and the manpower and material resources they invested during this period are undoubtedly very huge.

But!

Zhukhaupn TV, how many years has it been acquired?

It has grown to the third largest paid TV in the United States. How can you, Redstone, not be surprised?!

When he saw this report, he was also full of shock.

"Everyone, in the field of cable pay TV, we will have another opponent from now on!" Lei Shidong said in a deep voice.

“Yes, boss.”

Several executives present responded immediately.

The reason why upn TV has the third largest number of users in the United States is definitely an indispensable contribution.

Of course, the two animated series "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "Peppa Pig" are also important main forces.

The most important thing is the "advertising-free strategy"!

The "ad-free strategy" of cable pay TV in the United States was the pioneer of hbo TV. It was implemented in 2001. This explosive move has won countless audiences, praise and favor, and laid a solid foundation for hbo TV to dominate the cable TV field.

But now, its pioneer is Zhuke!

It is Zucker's upn TV network!

Ad-free strategy is definitely a very influential measure in the history of cable TV!

...........

[Television Emperor Zhuke - Deserving his name!]

This is the headline title posted by the California Entertainment News this morning.

[upn TV, with 21.25 million subscribers, ranks third in the field of cable paid TV in the United States;]

[wb TV Network, the overall viewership and number of viewers in the fourth quarter of 1998, ranked fifth among American Public Television;]

As soon as the report was released, who would dare to be the name of Zucker as a "TV emperor"? It is a false reputation?

This made many people who bought the California Entertainment News all exclaimed a burst of marvel.

"Mr. Wald, cool~!"

"I originally thought he could only do cartoons and variety shows, but who would have thought that he could be so powerful when he was in TV series!"

"According to the newspaper estimates, Mr. Juke Wald's assets are now over $3 billion."

"Yes, this huge wealth is enough to make him ranked in the top 400 for the Forbes rich rankings in the 1999 American Forbes rich rankings, no, or even the top 300."

The people started to discuss, and major media and newspapers also forwarded the report.

America's pursuit of wealth is beyond everything.

However......

When Zucker saw this report, his eyelids twitched.

"It's still not as good as hbo TV."

"In 1998, hbo's annual revenue was as high as $1.5 billion. I remember that in a certain year in the future, its annual revenue was $13 billion, and its subscription users were more than 80 million."

"Unn TV Network, there is a long way to go!"
