The move to take HBO Go “over-the-top” – media jargon that means consumers can watch the channel with a broadband connection – is a significant milestone for a channel long dependent on cable distributors. HBO’s top executive, Richard Plepler, announced that decision during an investor day on Wednesday where Time Warner’s other top executives laid out plans to boost the company’s growth. Shares of Time Warner, also home to movie studio Warner Bros and cable network channels Turner Broadcasting, were up 2.5 percent at $72.42 in morning trade.
