Having TRIED to work with the guys in the NY office of HBO, they are frozen in time, slow to move, sure that everyone is going to pirate their programs on the web and sue-happy when it comes to people posting their stuff on places like YouTube. I am not expecting a lot out of the post-Albrecht NY efforts.

Zlotnik’s been there for 20 years, so the Albrecht taint doesn’t touch him HBO hasn’t even tried to do much in the digital world, and it’s not likely that more will happen now.

Those execs were in the LA office, not at HQ. Chances are we’ll see more activity, not less, on the broadband front, though HBO doesn’t have the same pressures on them that the broadcast networks do considering that they don’t have to worry about ad spend moving online.
