watch now VIDEO 3:00 03:00 CNN founder Ted Turner dies at 87 Squawk on the Street Ted Turner, the brash sportsman and entrepreneur whose ambition and instincts led to a media empire that included groundbreaking news network CNN, has died, CNN reported on Wednesday citing a press release from Turner Enterprises. He was 87. No cause of death was given. In September 2018 Turner revealed that he had Lewy body dementia, a degenerative nerve disease. One nickname was not enough for a personality as roguish and bold as Turner's. He was known variously as the "Mouth of the South," "Captain Outrageous," and "Terrible Ted." He became a billionaire by taking over his father's billboard business, buying a television station in 1970 and parlaying that into what would become a vast ground-breaking television group.

Rick Diamond | Archive Photos | Getty Images Turner became one of the most powerful figures in U.S. media and entertainment, his networks specializing in news, sports, re-runs, and old movies. But he did not stop there. He added the MGM/UA movie studio to his portfolio before making an even bigger move — merging his Turner Broadcasting System with Time Warner in 1996. Turner headed the new company's cable networks division and was its leading shareholder, but he had trouble fitting into a corporate system after decades of free-wheeling as his own boss. He eventually lost control of his networks. Turner also became one of the world's leading environmentalists, one of the largest land owners in the United States, and a major philanthropist, giving $1 billion to the United Nations. With a slender mustache, gap-toothed grin, dimpled chin and mischievous glint in his eye, Turner pursued a range of passions. In the 1970s he owned the Atlanta Braves baseball team and the Atlanta Hawks of the National Basketball Association and skippered his yacht the Cour...

Media icon Ted Turner died on Wednesday at the age of 87. Turner's business career is considered historic after he turned a small media operation into a global cable empire. His biggest legacy is founding CNN and helping to pioneer the 24-hour cable news model and make it mainstream, while also building Turner Broadcasting into a major force through WTBS, TNT, Cartoon Network, and Turner Classic Movies. The Atlanta resident started off with a billboard business and expanded when he bought a struggling Atlanta television station, which he later used to create the "superstation" model to broadcast sports nationally. He also owned the Atlanta Braves and Hawks, using the sports rights for those teams to strengthen his media platforms and brand reach. In 1986, he bought MGM/UA Entertainment, and although that deal created heavy debt, he kept valuable film and TV libraries that later supported Turner Entertainment and TNT. In 1991, CNN and Turner experienced a defining moment when live coverage of the first U.S.-led war against Iraq on CNN captivated audiences. The coverage led Fox ( FOX ) ( FOXA ) and NBC ( CMCSA ), in partnership with Microsoft ( MSFT ), to create all-news channels of their own. A corporate milestone came in 1996, when Turner Broadcasting merged with Time Warner, making Turner one of the most influential shareholders in the combined company. Later, his wealth took a hit when the massive AOL-Time Warner merger led to share price losses for his stake. The major networks created by Ted Turner now sit under the Warner Bros. Discovery ( WBD ) corporate umbrella, which is due to merge with Paramount Skydance ( PSKY ).

ABC Reporter Fabricated Trump Call, Made Himself The Focus After Assassination Attempt Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news, President Trump has slammed ABC News chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl for what he calls outright dishonest reporting after Karl inserted himself into the story of the latest assassination attempt on the president. Karl appeared on ABC’s This Week shortly afterward and claimed Trump had reached out to him personally. “My phone rang shortly after 7 a.m., my landline, George actually. A number that few people call and it was President Trump calling,” Karl told host George Stephanopoulos. Karl further claimed that Trump “said at first he was calling to see if I was okay with what happened last night. ‘Are you OK?’ And then he reiterated many of the things he said in his press conference last night emphasizing the unity that he felt in that moment that he felt at the dinner before the shooting and certainly after with people who reached out to him… And he was quite firm about this: That dinner must be rescheduled.” NEWS: President Trump BLAST ABC News’ Jonathan Karl: “Jonathan Karl, of ABC Fake News, made a statement that I called him early in the morning, the day after the assassination attempt, to ask whether or not HE was OK.

No, this was a hit on ME, not HIM, and I didn’t make such a call, why would I do that?” Trump remarked. The president added, “He called me, but I didn’t take his call — He just confirmed that to me when he called again. I wo...

Bumble ( BMBL ) shares fell about 19% after the company’s mixed outlook overshadowed a Q1 earnings beat, with investors focusing on softer-than-expected revenue guidance for the current quarter. The dating app operator reported first-quarter GAAP EPS of $0.34, topping estimates by $0.04, and revenue of $212.38 million, slightly above expectations despite a 14% year-on-year decline. However, the company forecast second-quarter revenue at a midpoint of about $209 million, below the Wall Street consensus of roughly $215 million at the midpoint, even as it guided to adjusted EBITDA at a midpoint of about $67.5 million. Management framed the period as a “transformation phase,” highlighting a product and technology overhaul, including a new platform rollout and a redesigned Bumble Date experience expected to begin launching later this year. Executives said profitability trends would normalize as investment in technology, talent, and marketing increases but offered limited visibility on near-term user and conversion metrics. The combination of declining revenue, cautious near-term guidance, and uncertainty around the timing of product-led recovery appeared to drive the sharp selloff, despite strong cash flow and improved operating margins in the quarter.
