Turner Broadcasting System
From Free net encyclopedia
Image:Home top.gifThe Turner Broadcasting System (often abbreviated to Turner or TBS) is the company managing the collection of cable networks and properties started by Ted Turner from the mid-1970s to the late-1990s. Their current assets include CNN, TBS (and corresponding over-the-air Atlanta station WTBS-17), Turner Network Television, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Boomerang, Turner South†, and Turner Classic Movies. TBS also manages Turner Entertainment, the holding company for Turner's library of classic films from the MGM and pre-1948 Warner Bros. catalogs.
Turner Broadcasting merged with Time Warner in 1996, and now operates as a semi-autonomous unit of Time Warner.
†In a deal announced on February 23, 2006, Turner South is being sold to Fox Cable Networks and will become a regional sports channel, presumably FSN South 2.
