HBO (Home Box Office) is a flagship media property owned by WarnerMedia Studios and Networks. It is the oldest continuously operating subscription TV service in the United States and was the blueprint for the “premium channel” pay television service. It essentially began as Sterling Information Services, a Time-Life-subsidized provider of underground TV cabling service to Manhattan since 1966. It was renamed Home Box Office in 1971 when it was licensed by the FCC to provide pay television services.
