Description
Ever heard of The Sopranos or Sex and the City? Well, they wouldn’t exist without HBO. In episode 3, you’ll hear three early executives – Marty Callner, Michael Fuchs, and Sheila Nevins – tell the story of how they built HBO’s programming from the ground up. Breaking Hollywood’s stranglehold on the network, these pioneers took big risks airing uncensored comedy performances, music specials, and boxing matches.
