Turner Broadcasting System in the context of "TNT (American TV network)"

Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (WBD) is an American multinational mass media and entertainment conglomerate headquartered in New York City. It was formed from WarnerMedia's spin-off by AT&T and merger with Discovery, Inc. on April 8, 2022.

The company operates via two divisions: Streaming & Studios and Global Linear Networks. S&S includes the flagship Warner Bros. studios, HBO, DC Entertainment, and the company's streaming services. GLN largely includes advertising-supported cable networks. Those networks were inherited from its predecessors Discovery (such as Discovery Channel among others), Scripps Networks Interactive (such as HGTV among others), and Turner Broadcasting System (such as Cartoon Network, CNN, TBS, and TNT). Warner Bros. Discovery International is also included in the division, which manages broadcasting operations outside of the United States.

Warner Media, LLC (doing business as WarnerMedia) was an American multinational mass media and entertainment business owned by AT&T. It was headquartered at the 30 Hudson Yards complex in New York City and primarily operated in filmed entertainment and cable television.

The company's history traces back to the Kinney National Company, which purchased several entertainment companies during the 1960s and 1970s, (most notably Warner Bros.-Seven Arts). By 1972, Kinney separated its non-media businesses into an independent company, and renamed itself to Warner Communications. After merging with Time Inc., the new company became Time Warner Inc. on January 10, 1990, and kept that name for 28 years. In 2001, AOL merged with Time Warner, in a deal that came to be regarded as the "worst merger in history." Following years of downsizing, Time Warner simply owned Warner Bros., Turner Broadcasting, and HBO by 2014. Despite spinning off Time Inc. that year, it kept the "Time Warner" name until 2018, when it was acquired by AT&T for $108.7 billion and renamed to WarnerMedia.

TBS (originally an initialism of Turner Broadcasting System) is an American basic cable television network owned by the Global Linear Networks division of Warner Bros. Discovery. It carries a variety of programming, with a focus on comedy, along with some sports events through TNT Sports, including Major League Baseball, Stanley Cup playoffs, and the NCAA men's basketball tournament. As of September 2018, TBS was received by approximately 90.391 million households that subscribe to a pay television service throughout the United States. By June 2023, this number has dropped to 71.3 million households. TBS' sister networks are TNT, TruTV, and Turner Classic Movies, with the first two channels also providing sports coverage through TNT Sports.

TBS was originally established on December 17, 1976, as the national feed of Turner's Atlanta, Georgia, independent television station, WTCG. The decision to begin offering WTCG via satellite transmission to cable and satellite subscribers throughout the United States expanded the small station into the first nationally distributed "superstation". With the assignment of WTBS as the broadcast station's callsign in 1979, the national feed became known as SuperStation WTBS, and later SuperStation TBS, TBS Superstation, or simply TBS. The channel broadcast a variety of programming during this era, including films, syndicated series, and sports (including Atlanta Braves baseball, basketball games involving the Atlanta Hawks and other NBA teams, and professional wrestling including Georgia Championship Wrestling, Jim Crockett Promotions, World Championship Wrestling and All Elite Wrestling).

Warner Bros. Discovery International (formerly Turner Broadcasting System International and WarnerMedia International) is the international unit of Warner Bros. Discovery Global Linear Networks led by President Gerhard Zeiler. The unit oversees the production, broadcasting and promotion of its key brands outside of the United States. These brands include Adult Swim, Animal Planet, Boomerang, Cartoon Network, Discovery Channel, HBO, TLC, TBS, TNT, and Warner TV. The networks' headquarters are located in London. Other international offices are located in São Paulo, Santiago, Mexico City, Amsterdam, Warsaw, Milan, Mumbai, Paris, Singapore, Bogotá, and Auckland amongst others.

World Championship Wrestling (WCW) was an American professional wrestling promotion founded by Ted Turner in 1988, after Turner Broadcasting System, through a subsidiary named Universal Wrestling Corporation, purchased the assets of National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) territory Jim Crockett Promotions (JCP) (which had aired its programming on TBS).

For all of its existence, WCW was one of the two top professional wrestling promotions in the United States alongside the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE), at one point surpassing the latter in terms of popularity. After initial success through utilization of established wrestling stars of the 1980s, the company appointed Eric Bischoff to executive producer of television in 1993. Under Bischoff's leadership, the company enjoyed a period of mainstream success characterized by a shift to reality-based storylines, and notable hirings of former WWF talent. WCW also gained attention for developing a popular cruiserweight division, which showcased an acrobatic, fast-paced, lucha libre-inspired style of wrestling. In 1995, WCW debuted their live flagship television program Monday Nitro, and subsequently developed a ratings competition against the flagship program of the WWF, Monday Night Raw, in a period now known as the Monday Night War. From 1996 to 1998, WCW surpassed their rival program in the ratings for 83 consecutive weeks.

New Line Productions, Inc., doing business as New Line Cinema, is an American film and television production company. In 2008, it became a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group, a division of the "Big Five" film studio Warner Bros., which, in turn, is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD).

The studio was founded on June 18, 1967, by Robert Shaye in New York City, and has been operating as a unit of Warner Bros. Pictures since 2008. After becoming a film studio after being acquired by Turner Broadcasting System in 1994, Turner later merged with Time Warner Entertainment (later known as WarnerMedia from 2018 to 2022, and Warner Bros. Discovery since 2022) in 1996, and New Line was merged with Warner Bros. Pictures in 2008. Prior to the integration into Warner Bros. Pictures, the headquarters were located in Los Angeles, California at 116 N Robertson Blvd. Since then, New Line Cinema operates out of offices at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank.

CNN+ (CNN Plus) was a Spanish 24-hour television news channel. Launched in 1999 as a joint venture by Sogecable (a subsidiary of Prisa) and Turner Broadcasting System (a unit of Time Warner which owned CNN), it went off the air at the end of 28 December 2010. The management announced that CNN+ would be closed on 31 December 2010 because of low ratings and financial losses.

The slogan was Está pasando, lo estás viendo (It's happening, you're watching it). By 2008, there were other 24-hour television channels — Intereconomía TV and TVE 24h — and CNN+ was no longer the audience leader in this type of general information. Also, CNN+'s ratings were low, peaking at 0.6%.
