Strauss steps down at HBO


March 17, 2008 Carolyn Strauss, a 22-year HBO veteran, has stepped down as entertainment president of the pay cable network. "No one has made a more significant contribution to the success of HBO than Carolyn," HBO co-president Richard Plepler and president of the programming group and West Coast operations Michael Lombardo said in a statement Sunday. Rumors about the possible departure of Strauss, a longtime top lieutenant of former HBO chairman and CEO Chris Albrecht, have been circulating during the past six months following the major executive reshuffling at the pay cable network in June that was prompted by Albrecht's ouster.
