HBO was created in 1972 and was wholly incorporated into Time-Life in 1973. Time-Life is now Time Warner [1], i.e. one of the world's largest media conglomerates. I would be surprised if Time Warner put HBO up for sale any time soon if ever. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HBO#Development_and_launch http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HBO#Development_and_launch
