Charles Dolan, the visionary entrepreneur who founded HBO and Cablevision, passed away at the age of 98. Dolan's career began in the 1960s when he identified a gap in the television market for specialized content, leading to the creation of Home Box Office (HBO) in 1972, which revolutionized television by offering uncut, commercial-free movies and original programming.
