This would be Time Warner's second foray into cable broadcasting, after owning the Warner-Amex Satellite Entertainment Company through Warner Communications before selling it to MTV Networks in 1987.
The company's current assets include CNN, HLN, TBS, TNT, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Boomerang, truTV, and Turner Classic Movies.
TBS, Inc. merged with Time Warner on October 10, 1996, and now operates as a semi-autonomous unit of Time Warner. The current chairman and CEO of Turner Broadcasting is Philip I. Kent.
