30 Hudson Yards in the context of "Kohlberg Kravis Roberts"

Home Box Office (HBO) is an American premium television network and service, which is the flagship property of namesake parent-subsidiary Home Box Office, Inc., itself a unit owned by Warner Bros. Discovery. The overall Home Box Office business unit is based at Warner Bros. Discovery's corporate headquarters inside 30 Hudson Yards in Manhattan. Programming featured on the service consists primarily of theatrically released motion pictures and original television programs as well as made-for-cable movies, documentaries, occasional comedy, and concert specials, and periodic interstitial programs (consisting of short films and making-of documentaries).

HBO is the oldest subscription television service in the United States still in operation, as well as the country's first cable-originated television content service (both as a regional microwave- and national satellite-transmitted service). HBO pioneered modern pay television upon its launch on November 8, 1972: it was the first television service to be directly transmitted and distributed to individual cable television systems, and was the conceptual blueprint for the "premium channel", pay television services sold to subscribers for an extra monthly fee that do not accept traditional advertising and present their programming without editing for objectionable material. It eventually became the first television channel in the world to begin transmitting via satellite—expanding the growing regional pay service, originally available to cable and multipoint distribution service (MDS) providers in the northern Mid-Atlantic and southern New England, into a national television service—in September 1975, and, alongside sister channel Cinemax, was among the first two American pay television services to offer complimentary multiplexed channels in August 1991.

Warner Media, LLC (doing business as WarnerMedia) was an American multinational mass media and entertainment business owned by AT&T. It was headquartered at the 30 Hudson Yards complex in New York City and primarily operated in filmed entertainment and cable television.

The company's history traces back to the Kinney National Company, which purchased several entertainment companies during the 1960s and 1970s, (most notably Warner Bros.-Seven Arts). By 1972, Kinney separated its non-media businesses into an independent company, and renamed itself to Warner Communications. After merging with Time Inc., the new company became Time Warner Inc. on January 10, 1990, and kept that name for 28 years. In 2001, AOL merged with Time Warner, in a deal that came to be regarded as the "worst merger in history." Following years of downsizing, Time Warner simply owned Warner Bros., Turner Broadcasting, and HBO by 2014. Despite spinning off Time Inc. that year, it kept the "Time Warner" name until 2018, when it was acquired by AT&T for $108.7 billion and renamed to WarnerMedia.

Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. was an American television and media conglomerate founded by Ted Turner in 1965. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, it merged with Time Warner (later WarnerMedia) on October 10, 1996. As of April 2022, all of its assets were absorbed into Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD). The headquarters of Turner's properties were largely located at the CNN Center in Downtown Atlanta, and the Turner Broadcasting campus off Techwood Drive in Midtown Atlanta, which also houses Techwood Studios. Some of their operations were housed within WBD's corporate and global headquarters inside 30 Hudson Yards in Manhattan's West Side district, and at 230 Park Avenue South in Midtown Manhattan, both in New York City, respectively.

Turner was known for several pioneering innovations in U.S. multichannel television, including its satellite uplink of local Atlanta independent station WTCG channel 17 as TBS—one of the first national "superstations", and its establishment of the Cable News Network (CNN)—the first 24-hour news channel. It later launched a sister cable network, TNT; the professional wrestling promotion World Championship Wrestling (WCW), the animation-centered Cartoon Network (which later spawned an adult-oriented night-time sister network in the form of Adult Swim, as well as the classic-cartoon channel Boomerang), and the classic-movie channel Turner Classic Movies (TCM). Turner South—a network devoted to regional sports and southern lifestyle programming—was launched by Turner in 1999, but was later sold to Fox Sports Networks in 2006 to form SportSouth. The same year, it acquired Liberty Media's stake in their joint venture Court TV. WCW assets were later sold to the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) in 2001.

Warner Media (previously named Time Warner) was an American multinational entertainment conglomerate. For the last four years of its existence, it was owned by AT&T. It was headquartered at the 30 Hudson Yards complex in New York City and its core businesses were in film, cable television, and streaming.

Time Warner was established on January 10, 1990, from the merger between Time Inc. and Warner Communications. After purchasing Turner Broadcasting System in 1996, Time Warner became the world’s largest media conglomerate, but its unsuccessful merger with AOL resulted in years-long corporate slimdown that culminated with Time Inc. being spun off on June 6, 2014. Despite Time no longer being a subsidiary, the Time Warner name continued to be used until June 14, 2018, when Time Warner was acquired by AT&T after a prolonged court battle and renamed to WarnerMedia.
