351 classified coverage items · 289 measured articles · Jul 2025 – Oct 2026

What HBO coverage is made of over time: story type, claim stage as reported, and press framing. This measures the coverage, not the product.

Story type and claim stage are shares of the 351 classified coverage items in this window.

How to read this

The stream below stacks each month's coverage by the lens you choose: Tone (how the press frames the story — promotional, skeptical, critical, or neutral), Story type (launches, funding, lawsuits, partnerships…), or Stage — how far the reported claim has gone: speculation → announcement → launch → results.

Taller bands mean more coverage that month; the dots beneath mark notable non‑neutral events. Every signal is sourced and dated.

Coverage is 74% announcement-stage (by claim stage) and overwhelmingly neutral in tone; its biggest storyline is Launch · HBO Max + House of the Dragon.
Corporate coverage — the stage ladder reflects how far this company's announced moves had progressed, not a verdict on the company.

How this is counted — why the article numbers differ

540 articles mention HBO across the corpus. The coverage make-up above is measured on the 289 of them that were read into dated, classified coverage items — and one article can produce more than one item, because story type, claim stage and framing are read separately.
