He said at the time that he purchased the team to keep it from moving out of the Atlanta area. The Hawks made the playoffs 15 times during Turner&#8217;s ownership, and the club retired a jersey in honor of him in 2004.<\/p>\n<p>Turner made his fortune in media, taking over the family business and renaming it Turner Communications Group in 1970. He began his empire by purchasing two stations in Atlanta and Charlotte, North Carolina.<\/p>\n<p>In 1976, he launched TBS to millions across America, as the station&#8217;s signal was carried via satellite. Four years later, he furthered his reach by creating the 24-hour cable news network CNN, a move that transformed the news business. TNT, created in 1988, increased Turner&#8217;s footprint in the media landscape.<\/p>\n<p>Time Warner assumed ownership of the Braves and Hawks in 1996 when Turner sold his business to the company for $7.3 billion in stock. Turner was promised a continued role in CNN but was gradually pushed out, much to his regret.<\/p>\n<p>A year later, TBS became the owner of the NHL expansion Thrashers, who relocated and became the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nhl\/team\/_\/name\/wpg\/winnipeg-jets\">Winnipeg Jets<\/a> in 2011.<\/p>\n<p>In 1986, Turner created the Goodwill Games, an international sports competition held every four years; the event ran until 2000. He also ventured into professional wrestling with the purchase of Jim Crockett Promotions in 1988 and renaming it as World Championship Wrestling. WCW served as the main competitor to WWE through the 1990s but ultimately was purchased by WWE in 2001.<\/p>\n<p>Turner was also an accomplished yachtsman. As skipper of the yacht Courageous, he defended the America&#8217;s Cup in 1977 by beating Australia 4-0.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"inline inline-photo full\">\n<figure><picture><source data-srcset=\"https:\/\/a4.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2013%2F1018%2Fotl_glavin_turner_1200x675.jpg&amp;w=570&amp;format=jpg, https:\/\/a4.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2013%2F1018%2Fotl_glavin_turner_1200x675.jpg&amp;w=1140&amp;cquality=40&amp;format=jpg 2x\" media=\"(min-width: 376px)\"><source data-srcset=\"https:\/\/a4.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2013%2F1018%2Fotl_glavin_turner_1200x675.jpg&amp;w=375, https:\/\/a4.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2013%2F1018%2Fotl_glavin_turner_1200x675.jpg&amp;w=750&amp;cquality=40&amp;format=jpg 2x\" media=\"(max-width: 375px)\"><img class=\"lazyload lazyload\" data-image-container=\".inline-photo\" height=\"320\" width=\"570\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/picture><figcaption class=\"photoCaption\">Braves owner Ted Turner, left, talks with pitcher Tom Glavine as he holds the series MVP trophy after Atlanta won the World Series in 1995.\u00a0<cite>AP Photo\/Tannen Maury<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Turner focused on philanthropy later in life. In 1997, he pledged $1 billion to benefit the United Nations. Turner was also committed to The Giving Pledge, a commitment by the world&#8217;s wealthiest individuals and families to dedicate the majority of their wealth to giving back.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ted was an intensely involved and committed leader, intrepid, fearless and always willing to back a hunch and trust his own judgement,&#8221; Mark Thompson, chairman and CEO of CNN Worldwide, said in a statement. &#8220;He was and always will be the presiding spirit of CNN. Ted is the giant on whose shoulders we stand, and we will all take a moment today to recognize him and his impact on our lives and the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Turner married three times, most famously to Jane Fonda from 1991 to 2001.
