"Ted was an intensely involved and committed leader, intrepid, fearless and always willing to back a hunch and trust his own judgement. He was and always will be the presiding spirit of CNN."
"Turner launched CNN in June 1980, betting that audiences would watch rolling global coverage around the clock, reshaping modern media."
Ted Turner, the media pioneer who launched CNN in June 1980, passed away at the age of 87. His vision for a 24-hour news network transformed television journalism and established CNN as a leader in global news coverage. Turner built a vast media empire, including TBS, MGM holdings, and Cartoon Network, and owned the Atlanta Braves. He was diagnosed with Lewy body dementia in 2018 and had a brief hospitalization for pneumonia last year. Turner is survived by five children, 14 grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
