After a few months in the lab with a pen & a pad, @HiBarrMedia’s MEDIA MOGULS ... IS BACK!

and this season is very different from our Ted Turner Saga.

Everyone knows the names Walt Disney, Rupert Murdoch, and Ted Turner.

But Steve Ross?

He might be the most fascinating media mogul you’ve probably never heard of.

The new season of MEDIA MOGULS is all about the incredible story of how Ross went from working at his in-laws’ funeral home business to owning Warner Bros. in less than 15 years...despite having no experience in entertainment.

And that's just the beginning.

Over the next 2 decades, he’d build one of the greatest entertainment empires in history.

A24 getting Chris Rock’s MISTY GREEN (stacked cast) out of theaters fast and onto Netflix already is why they’re kicking everyone’s ass rn.

Watch it go gangbusters on the service

When he was just 16-years-old, Jackson Browne wrote These Days…before he even had a record deal.

In fact, what’s even crazier is that it took another FOUR YEARS before he finally landed a record deal (thanks to David Geffen)

That’s the power of belief, skill, and timing!

@ZackKorman Isn’t that the entire point of them racing to “beat China”

Same night Axl got into a legendary (hilarious) fight with Kurt over remarks about Courtney Love.

Then Nirvana put MTV execs into a collective panic before they played Lithium.

And we got all of these performances…

The 1992 VMAs rocked

[Bill Simmons @BillSimmons]

We used to know how to make things in this country

[Web Barr @WebBarr]

@HipCityReg Fair q though!

[Web Barr @WebBarr]

@HipCityReg No.

Fwiw I do agree with you that most people don’t have a theory of what makes something quality but I’m just saying quality is v much subjective.

[Web Barr @WebBarr]

@HipCityReg Quantify it! The moment you do (you can’t), it becomes math. This is a good thing

Everyone knows Walt Disney, Steve Jobs, and Ted Turner.

But Steve Ross?

Well…IMO, he might just be the most fascinating media mogul you’ve never heard of.

Ted Turner won America’s Cup, coached a game for the Braves & got himself suspended as MLB owner……

ALL IN THE SAME YEAR that he put the satellite into space to take the Superstation TBS national!

[Will Manidis @WillManidis]

this stuff is so tiresome. jp morgan lead new york city yacht club to two successive cup victories, rockefeller raced trotters through central park, ellison made sailboats fly

you all are falling victim to the pastiche of martyrdom without any of the glory. get over yourselves
