Ted Turner, the media maverick and philanthropist who founded CNN, a pioneering 24-hour network that revolutionized television news, died peacefully Wednesday, surrounded by his family, according to a news release from Turner Enterprises. He was 87.

Amazing. It was only yesterday that my mind ran on Ted Turner when I read about Bisons being pushed off Montana land. Recalling that Ted Turner once started a Bison Burger business, I wondered then what became of him as well as the burgers.

Walk good Ted Turner.

Pioneer, before his passing he must have been saddened to see what his concept of 24hr cable TV/news have been so hijacked
