JALEN BRUNSON DROPS 45 POINTS TO LEAD THE KNICKS TO THEIR FIRST CHAMPIONSHIP IN 53 YEARS 🔥
THE NBA FINALS MVP @jalenbrunson1 CLOSES OUT THE SERIES WITH A MASSIVE PERFORMANCE.
At some point in 1987, I came home from middle school and watched Braves baseball on TBS.
John Sterling was the announcer.
Ted Turner owned the team & station the game was on.
Bobby Cox was the Braves GM.
40 years later we lose them all in the same week. Each one an icon.
Ted Turner, who was a huge figure in the television world, leaves behind so much impact. He did so much in his life, that if you were young in the 80s/90s and even the 00s his contributions impacted what we were able to watch on TV.
What Ted Turner did for wrestling is still being felt today.
Major cable presence, specifically on TBS and TNT. Making sure there was an alternative, paying competitive salaries, and keeping a company alive for love of the game.
RIP Ted Turner
Ted Turner, who passed away today at the age of 87, created or had a hand in 3 important things that shaped my childhood
1. He created the ‘Captain Planet’ cartoon series with Barbara Pyle to educate young people on pollution and deforestation
2. He owned and led WCW through its glory days, when it was consistently beating WWE, formerly WWF, in ratings. Under his leadership the NWO was founded, the rise of Sting & Goldberg
3. Most importantly, he created the Cartoon Network in 1992, the first 24 hour channel dedicated to cartoons which went on to make shows like Dexter’s Laboratory, Johnny Bravo, and much more
Thanks Ted
Ted Turner, the billionaire media entrepreneur and philanthropist who launched the 24-hour cable TV news revolution when he founded CNN in 1980, has died. He was 87. https://t.co/CboJPpPBiC
AEW mourns the loss of Ted Turner and sends our condolences. A pioneer of TV and founder of TBS & TNT, Turner championed pro wrestling on his networks since the 1970's. AEW proudly continues that tradition, and we dedicate Wednesday Night Dynamite tonight on TBS to his memory.
Ted's vision brought the Braves into my living room as a kid in southern Indiana in the 90's.
Because of him, we became a family of Braves fans and I began to dream of broadcasting Braves baseball.
Thanks for everything, Ted. Your legacy will never be forgotten.
