Remembering Ted Turner
Amanpour
May 6, 2026

CNN founder Ted Turner has died at the age of 87. An innovator and an icon, he revolutionized the television business by creating the first 24-hour news channel. Much more than a media mogul, Turner also was an environmentalist, a peace activist, a champion sailor, and a philanthropist. Christiane worked closely with him and joins the show to discuss his life and legacy. 

Also on today's show: Danny Citrinowicz, former head of Iran branch of Israel’s military intelligence; author Rhae Lynn Barnes
