RIP Ted Turner
- Thread starter unassuming
- Start date
Strong leader and visionary in the media industry.
Made a great investment in purchasing the Atlanta Braves in 1976 for $12 million. Then he bought the Atlanta Hawks one year later. Built a profitable TV network around that. Eventually sold the rights to Time Warner and likely made hundreds of millions off the deal. Wise move.
As wise a business decision maker that he was, he wasn't as wise in his life choices. Three times married including to a c*** named Jane Fonda. Makes sense though since he was a pretty hardcore Liberal Democrat. I guess he had to be though since his business relied on government regulators a ton.

The entrepreneur and media mogul who broke the power of the networks with his cable channels. He was the owner of the Atlanta Braves and was married to Jane Fonda.
Why I enjoy irritating pricks like you.
Sorry that my life doesn't conform to your exhaled standards. I'm in a battle with cancer, don't travel far beyond my perimeter. When I pass I'll send you an FU before it happens.

I was disappointed when he lost control of CNN. He had a passion for it and it showed.
He eventually turned the Atlanta Braves into a powerhouse.
A whole channel devoted to old movies?? People thought he was crazy, but as usual he saw opportunity where others didn't.
Gave away a lot of money to good causes.
Bravo and RIP.
