Atlanta — Ted Turner, founder of CNN and former owner of the Atlanta Braves, died on May 6, 2026, at age 87, his family said Wednesday. Turner launched CNN on June 1, 1980, built TBS into a national superstation that broadcast Braves games across the country, and sold the franchise after the team's 1995 World Series victory. Philadelphia and Chattanooga developments this week underscore ongoing changes in baseball: the Philadelphia Phillies' shortstop Trea Turner has struggled in recent games, a pattern linked to a difficult April that prompted a managerial change earlier this season. In Chattanooga, the McCallie School announced Thursday that long-time coach Tim Costo will step down after 2026 and assistant Matt Allen will be promoted to head coach.
