Ted Turner changed television, sports, cable news, classic movies, cartoons, and media forever.

In this episode of the MX3 Podcast, we reflect on the life and legacy of Robert Edward “Ted” Turner III after his passing at age 87. From taking over his father’s billboard company to building TBS, CNN, TNT, Cartoon Network, Turner Classic Movies, and a media empire that shaped generations, Turner’s story is one of bold risk, massive success, public controversy, major business lessons, and lasting cultural impact.

We discuss how Ted Turner helped create the 24-hour news cycle, turned the Atlanta Braves into a national brand, helped preserve classic films, competed in the media world against giants like Rupert Murdoch, and gave $1 billion to launch the United Nations Foundation.

Our mission at MX3 Podcast is discussing money, motivation, and relevant events — and Ted Turner’s life touches all three.
