New HBO boss likens Netflix to Encyclopedia Britannica, says it doesn't have a brand
-
WarnerMedia Entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt had some choice words for Netflix, telling NBC News' Dylan Byers: "Netflix doesn't have a brand. It's just a place you go to get anything -- it's like Encyclopedia Britannica. That's a great business model when you're trying to reach as many people on the planet as you can." As for HBO, he says, "we have the best television on earth, and that's HBO. ... What we're trying to do is preserve the quality and elegance of what HBO has been doing for 40 years and at the same time increase its output to a reasonable degree that doesn't effect the quality and elegance and beauty."
