Launched on November 8, 1972, HBO has built an empire of supreme quality that is unrivaled in the entertainment industry. A true game-changer, HBO has almost singlehandedly created the current Golden Age of television, and is responsible for evolving TV out of the swamp and into the higher pantheon of storytelling mastery. In a recent interview with Charlie Rose, HBO CEO & Chairman Richard Plepler discusses the future of the network, the two things he looks for when a producer pitches a new show, why he wanted John Oliver to join HBO, the expanded universe of VICE News, as well as his thoughts on how HBO compares to Netflix. You can watch the entire interview above.
