Turner Broadcasting System

Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. is an American media conglomerate and division of Warner Bros. Discovery, managing the collection of cable networks and properties initiated or acquired by Robert Edward "Ted" Turner III starting during the 1970s.

Why It Rocked

 * 1) Ted Turner was a prominent modern example of the Renaissance Man.
 * 2) It was target for kids, teens, young adults and adults.
 * 3) The company's current assets include CNN, HLN, TBS, TNT, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Boomerang, TruTV, and Turner Classic Movies.
 * 4) Beside the channels, he founded his company called Turner Entertainment Co., where it owns:
 * 5) *pre-1986 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (The Wizard of Oz, Tom and Jerry, Droopy, 2001: A Space Odyssey)
 * 6) *United Artists (RKO Radio Pictures, Associated Artists Productions, pre-1950 Warner Bros. (pre-1948 Looney Tunes), Fleischer Studios/Famous Studios Popeye cartoons)
 * 7) *Hanna-Barbera Productions/pre-1991 Ruby-Spears (The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Yogi Bear and Scooby-Doo).
 * 8) They also had their other productions: Turner Pictures and Turner Feature Animation, where it produced some films for animated and live-action and Turner Program Services, where it served the same purpose as Turner Entertainment's distribution unit.
 * 9) It was spawned into merchandise for books, comics, VHS, DVDs, video games, clothes for every channel.
 * 10) The commercials, promos and bumpers were pretty fun to watched.
 * 11) It gets even better, when Turner merged with Time Warner in 1996, they are now allowing to own everything for the pre-1986 MGM, pre-1950 Warner Bros., Hanna-Barbera, CNN, TBS, TNT and Cartoon Network and more.

The Only Bad Quality

 * 1) Since 2019, because of AT&T's acquisition of TimeWarner and rebranding into WarnerMedia, Turner Broadcasting began being dissolved: Cartoon Network, its sister channels Boomerang and Adult Swim, and Turner Classic Movies had their operations transferred to Warner Bros., Turner Sports and CNN were merged into a newly-formed WarnerMedia News and Sports group (alongside the AT&T SportsNet RSNs), while the remnants of Turner Broadcasting, which included TNT, TBS, and truTV, were merged with HBO to form WarnerMedia Entertainment, effectively dividing Turner's media empire into parts.
