Before the launch of Home Box Office in 1972, the TV industry had changed little since the birth of broadcast network television in the late 1940s. The arrival of the premium cable channel began a revolution in the business and programming of TV. This is the story of HBO's reconfiguration of television and the company's continual reinvention of itself in a competitive and dynamic industry.
