Ted Turner recorded a goodbye tape for when the world ends

Sam shares how Ted Turner built CNN as the first 24-hour news network and was so committed to never going off air that he pre-recorded a goodbye segment to play only when the world ends. Turner started on third base with family wealth but parlayed it into CNN, TBS, and becoming one of America's largest landowners.

“It's going to be a 24-hour news network. And the only time we're going to go quick, go off air is when the world ends. So we recorded the like a goodbye segment. It's like the world's about to end. We thank you for tuning in.”
