         HBO is the oldest and longest continuously operating subscription television service in the United States. HBO pioneered modern pay television upon its launch on November 8, 1972.

THE FIRST WRESTLING MATCH TELEVISED ON HBO, PRIOR TO GOING NATIONAL IN SEPTEMBER 1975.

Time	
8:30pm	Wrestling Live from Madison Square Garden	
Pedro Morales vs. Ray Stevens
Verne Gagne vs. Buddy Wolf
Black Gordman vs. Sonny King
Tony Garea vs. Chuck O'Connor

It was the first television service to be directly transmitted and distributed to individual cable television systems, and was the conceptual blueprint for the "premium channel," pay television services sold to subscribers for an extra monthly fee that do not accept traditional advertising and present their programming without editing for objectionable material. It eventually became the first television channel in the world to begin transmitting via satellite—expanding the growing regional pay service, originally available to cable and multipoint distribution service (MDS) providers in the northern Mid-Atlantic and southern New England, into a national television network—in September 1975.
