aaron: hbo gave me complete freedom. the real difference is that when you are on network tv, the network is in business with the advertisers. hbo is in business with the audience. that difference is all the difference. hbo doesn't care how many people are watching the show. emily: really? aaron: they just care how much the people who are watching the show like the show. that is a business model that a writer would love. emily: but they have to care about subscribers? don't they? aaron: they only care about subscribers, and the way to get subscribers is for people to be talking about your show, people to be writing about the show, for the show to get a certain amount of critical acclaim. once you've subscribed to hbo, they don't care if you're watching "the newsroom" or "game of thrones" or "boardwalk empire" or "girls" or anything else, because they are not trying to sell you a toaster in between acts. emily: let's talk about all the other options out there. you have netflix, you have amazon tv. how impressed have you be

i think netflix has really studied hbo and the success and growth of hbo.nk netflix knew all along that they could not simply be a rebroadcastor, if you will, of reruns of movies and tv shows. while that still maintains a very large part of their total viewership, i think in an effort to differentiate themselves in an increasingly competitive video market, they needed to create their own individual programming, find some hits they could brand a little bit and use to drive subscriber growth. they have had successes, but also some misses. they are no different than any other creative entity. cory: before hbo had "the sopranos," they had "arliss." before that, they had a successful business. netflix did not. this is the principal driver of subscriber growth. what happens when it is marco polo, when "house of cards" is over and flops happen? it is hard to make hits. paul: we have seen it across hollywood since the beginning of hollywood. it is a hit-driven business. however, netflix does have a very large library of movies and tv shows, which continues to drive

i'm more worried about the competition from the likes of hbo. if you see a meaningful down grade in sales at some point, that's when you get in short stocks. >> hbo thing is the right point. the catalyst ta told me the story in net flik, their business model is breaking if not broken. sure, able to create content. enough money, you can pay for the content. the fact for a long time they had a monopoly on that delivery system. hbo wasn't doing it. cbs wasn't doing it, nobody was doing it. now competition. that's a problem woi for a stock 100 times earnings. >> focus on, sell premium, up side, do it where you think it might begin to roll over. this is the upper edge of the range basically. the other thing you'll notice, april earnings come out after the expiration. looking for the catalyst, like dan said, you'll have an opportunity to look at it then. >>> got a question send us a tweet @optionsactions. and check out we are website. someone calmed it the "catcher in the rye" of derivatives. sign up for your newsletter while there. here's what's comi

this will be a flit between hbo -- split between hbo and showtime. sports television? >> it's going to be huge. there's some entering facts -- interesting facts. the record for a number of buys is 2.5 million, and that's an old record, and i think that's going to be exceeded. i'm hearing that the price might be even as high as $100. liz: whoa. >> and so just imagine if there's 300 -- 3-3.5 million buys, that's $300-$350 million of pay-per-view revenue. it's going to be amazing. they're talking about a gate of 40 million. and i'll tell you that what's interesting, the 60/40 split really doesn't happen. with mayweather getting 60% -- which he definitely deserves -- and pacquiao getting 40%. and i really do think this is the beginning of there will be at least two of these if not three. so the numbers really get ridiculous. it just goes to show you the power of a major, major event. but this thing doesn't happen if the showtime and hbo guys don't get together and ifless moonves at cbs, which controls showtime, count take control. but this is going to be

hbo wasn't doing it. cbs wasn't doing it. now they have competition. that's a problem for a stock that's 100-plus times earnings. >> a couple of things you want to focus on. try to do it right near where you think it might begin to roll over. this is the upper edge of the range. the other thing is that april earnings come out after this expiration. if you are looking for the catalyst like dan was saying, you'll have an opportunity to look at it then. >> got a question out there, send us a tweet @optionsaction. some called it the catcher in the rye of derivatives. while you're there, sign up for our newsletter. >>> here's what's coming up next. $7 million. that's how much one trader bet an ge today, and you won't believe how high they see it going. >>> plus, microsoft's about to do something it hasn't done in a while. >> we're going streaking! >> not exactly but the charts point to short-term pain. we'll tell you why. >>> welcome back. it's been a huge month for general electric. the stock is up 9% in february. some traders see it going higher. today se

i think netflix -- the growth of hbo. think netflix new all along they could not a re-broadcaster of movies and tv shows. that maintains a large part of the total viewership area in an effort to differentiate themselves in an increasingly competitive video market they needed to create their own original programming. find something they can brand a little bit. they have had a couple of successes here. they are no different than any other creative entity. >> it had a successful profitable business. netflix did not. it is a principal driver of subscriber growth. what happens when house of cards is over and the flops start to happen? it's hard to pick hits. >> it certainly is. they have driven a business. netflix does have a very large library of movies and tv shows, which continues to drive subscribers and continues to drive the amount of time spent with netflix by its users. clearly they are lining their stars with more original programming, which just heightens the whole programming risk to the netflix story, which wasn't

hbo, no ads. youtube you can skip the ads. so the question then becomes in the future, does the younger generation which is brought up would want looking at ads and watching on different screens -- mobile devices, for instance -- will they put up with what the cable networks want them to put up with? which is 20 minutes an hour of programming of advertising. >> we used to call them cord cutters. now they are used to getting things for free on the internet a large extent. do you think they are willing to pay to subsidize beyond maybe one or two subscriptions to a netflix. >> i think that is a real question. with the cord cutting, declining subscribers with cable. why am i paying for a bundle. why do i have to pay for espn which comes i out to about $6 a month on average when i don't watch it. not everyone watches espn for instance. so why i do i need the bundle. let's break up the bundle and then i wouldn't be paying 80, $90 a month just for cable subscription t not counteding broad band. >> you do have the die hard users for e

hbo go allows three and hulu plus only one.pn unlike the others does not state limits if you do not want to interrupt your viewing pleasure think twice before you give out your password. >> as hbo go and dish network are giving out online only access, they be more interested in exactly who is watching we put company responses on 6abc.com. i'm nydia han channel 6 "action news." >>> finally at 4:00, a warning the tiny creature in this story may actually be too cute to handle. yes. this boxer puppy is adorable on his on but when the human guy's human mom decided to teach him how to hail, the cuteness weren't off the richter scale. take a look. don't worry toby practice makes perfect. you'll be able to howl and snort. >> when i laugh too hardy get the snort. >> that will do it for "action news" at 4:00, shirleen and i along with ducis rogers are back tonight for a full hour of "action news" at 10:00 on phl 17. >> lets head on over to rick and monica. >> did brian say he was part boxer. coming up next on "action news," five children

. >> but netflix has no ads and hbo has no ads. youtube, you can skip the ads. so the question then becomes in the future, does that younger generation, which is brought up without looking at ads and watching on different screens, mobile devices, for instance, will they put up with what cable and broadcast network want them to put up with, 20 minutes an hour of programming of advertising. >> that younger generation, a lot of them we used to call them cord cutters but they never had to pay for cable for all of these things. they are used to getting things for free on the internet. do you think they are willing to pay to subsidize beyond maybe one or two subscriptions to a netflix arena. >> that's a good question. there's real anger the people see, the declining subscribers with cable. saying why am i paying for a bundle? why do i have to pay for espn which comes out to $6 a month on average. when i don't watch espn. not everyone watches it, for instance, why do i have to have the bundle? let's break up the bundle. if you broke up the bundle, i wouldn't be paying

>> you will now be able to subscribe to hbo without being a cable customer.ch, for those of us -- there we go. see? [applause] i always maintain -- i always maintained that people wanted that. everyone in hollywood told me it would never happen. i think the media industry is going to grow a lot over the next ten years. i think video is going to grow tremendously. i think television in the form of everything from live television all the way through to nonfiction content, news, so forth, documentaries, fiction, drama, comedy, it will grow a lot. the reason i am so confident is that the number of people who can receive streaming video in the world is like two billion people, on its way to 5 billion people by the end of the decade. right? so i think in the future, if you want to watch something, you go straight to it. you just google it and go straight to it. or you go to youtube and go straight to it. or, new bundles. if you were ever going to buy netflix stock, i would never recommend buying it, but on a day it's dropped 25% it might be worthing thinking about.
