Ted Turner seeks ESPN buy to bolster sports net lineup
Turner aims to acquire ESPN, the leading sports cable network, saying the move would strengthen his media holdings including WTBS CNN and the Braves Hawks franchises. Turner spokesman Arthur Sando cautions the plan only proceeds if it improves the company’s future. William E Lord named ABC World News Tonight executive producer, replacing Frye in May. Rich Hall releases book of humorous coinages including Ambiportalous and other “snnglets.”
