媒体巨头泰德·特纳去世：他改变了体育和摔跤的格局
Read, Watch or Listen
ATLANTA — Ted Turner, the media executive who bought the Atlanta Braves in the 1970s and later rebranded a wrestling company as World Championship Wrestling, died Wednesday. He used the TBS superstation and TNT to broadcast sports and wrestling nationally; WCW outpaced the World Wrestling Federation in television ratings for 83 weeks, according to former Turner executive Brad Siegel. This week, sports figures and industry officials reflected on Turner's influence: Diamond Dallas Page thanked him for providing an international wrestling platform, and MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred called Turner a 'visionary' whose media innovations transformed how fans experience sports. The Braves won the 1995 World Series and Turner sold the franchise the following year, outlets reported.
