RIP Ted Turner

[Wild Bill]

Lots of different opinions on the man, I'm sure.

PHILANTHROPIST, ENVIRONMENTALIST AND CABLE PIONEER TED TURNER PASSES AT 87

Wow!!!!! That’s crazy. I wonder what will become of his legacy. I’ve heard lots of theories about his post-mortem intentions. RIP

The amount of Atlanta Braves baseball I watched as a kid due to Ted’s TBS and team ownership is insanely high. Also watched a ton of wcw wrestling due to his ownership. RIP Ted, thanks for making my childhood tv viewing wonderful

Basically every Friday evening from ages 11-14, my dad would get a Pizza from Papa Rays in MT City, and we would sit down and watch MonsterVision, hosted by Joe Bob Briggs. It was there my appreciation for rated R horror movies censored to meet FCC thresholds was born, and that was on Turner Network Television, so thanks, Ted.

162 Braves games every year and endless reruns of the Andy Griffith show, I am forever grateful

Brash and outspoken, big environmentalist, donated billions to worthy causes.

Way before the internet, CNN was the 24 hour window into breaking news around the world.

Sounds like Lewy Body Dementia at the end, sad way to go for a man so full of ideas and vision.
