‘Game of Thrones’ series finale is approaching. How will HBO survive after it?

LA Times  

The crowd packed into New York’s Radio City Music Hall for the final-season premiere of HBO’s juggernaut drama “Game of Thrones.” As audience members took their seats, they were greeted by an announcer who said: “Welcome to the beginning of the end.” For many who attended the gathering earlier this month, it was not hard to hear a more ominous meaning in those words. HBO said the seventh season of “Game of Thrones,” which was televised in 2017, was watched by an average of 32.8 million U.S. viewers across its networks and streaming platforms. Nathanson, the analyst, noted that HBO’s business didn’t suffer last year when “Game of Thrones” was on hiatus, a sign that consumers are satisfied with its other offerings. “Netflix has programming for 365 days a year, and that’s why WarnerMedia is ramping up its programming pipeline.” Brett Sappington, senior director at the research firm Parks Associates in Addison, Texas, said another positive sign is how HBO Now subscriptions continued to grow in 2017 — after “Game of Thrones” finished its season.
