Ted Turner, Pioneer of 24-Hour News, Dies at 87



A titan of the modern media landscape, Ted Turner, the rebel visionary who launched the world's first 24-hour news network and defied all industry logic, has passed away at the age of 87.



Fueled by a relentless competitive spirit that also saw him win the America's Cup and own professional sports teams, Turner upended television conventions. In 1980, amid universal skepticism from journalists who believed news had a start and end time, he flipped the switch on CNN, prioritizing live video feeds and global reaching, a formula that would later dominate news culture for decades.



"When we bet on the premise of continuous coverage in the days of Vietnam all we used was, 'A little technology and a monstrous load of pure guts,'" as his network (renamed 'news with presence for wide range if TV was lacking features from CBS night).* Yet, through his personality-driven maneuvering, Turner challenged corporate giants to lead, transform business drastically coverage around geo-front campaigns.
