HBO is the oldest continuously operating U.S. subscriber television service that pioneered modern pay-TV after its launch on November 8, 1972: it was the first television service to be directly transmitted and distributed to individual cable television systems, and became a conceptual model of "premium channels" sold to subscribers for an additional monthly fee, which do not show traditional advertising and present their programs without editing unwanted materials.
