Jeffrey Bewkes Quotations

I think (if) the cable companies show up with continuing robustness (they) will get revalued.

We're trying to absorb any good ideas that anyone (has).

We could decide that we wanted to own less of cable as an industry -- it doesn't look like that is a decision that is made over the next year. It's a question that we will consider.

We think it's a general malaise about the (media) sector.

The basic approach to piracy that we have is to compete with it by offering legitimate products in the right time period at the right price.

If you put all these networks on-demand, it will be very powerful. And people will find them.

The reason people talk about cable cutting is they imagine the price burden will get so high that people won't be able to pay it. They're missing something: that the actual price of the electronic package is going down. They've got their Internet, phone, TV, all of it. Now people are using more and more stuff for less.

I'm very committed to and interested in CNN's journalism and our magazines and our movie studio, not just HBO, where I grew up. But I do have a fondness for subscription television.

You buy a movie, you should get it anywhere you want it. You pay for a network, you should have that anywhere you want. Same thing with a magazine.

Tablets generally have made it pretty obvious that magazines have a new lease on life.

I think Apple is a great device company.

People try to read a lot into what 'digital' means. It's just another platform. There are very attractive things that happen if you invest in content - movies, TV production, acquired series, specialty genres, digital distribution of our magazines, sports rights.

It is important to have a reliable and substantive publication such as World Screen available as a source for information. The magazine's reporting is always on the cutting edge of the global television business.
