Now in its 25th year, HBO can look back on a history in sports that is both ludicrous and revolutionary, both zany and sublime.
"Sports has been our bulwark at times, and it's also been our greatest embarrassment," said Seth Abraham, president and CEO of Time Warner Sports.
As he continues rebuilding CBS Sports, Sean McManus might face more problems in public relations than in programming.
"The perception is not the reality," McManus said in his first meeting with CBS Sports personnel since he became division president. "That will change."
Although the ouster of David Kenin and the hiring of McManus were announced last month, McManus didn't actually move from his old office at International Management Group to his new one at CBS until Monday.
