CNN Goodbye To Downtown Atlanta/43 Years/Ted Turner/Tom Johnson Speech (Audio Is Bad From Source)

Former CNN President and later CEO and chairman from 1990-2001 Tom Johnson reads a letter from CNN founder Ted Turner on CNN leaving downtown Atlanta.
CNN (Cable News Network) was founded in Atlanta in 1980 by media mogul Ted Turner as the world’s first 24-hour television news network. The network has been shifting its center of gravity to Washington, D.C. and New York for decades, and this year it will start a new chapter in a smaller Atlanta office. Due to this shift, the company’s Atlanta staff is preparing a long-planned move out of the palatial CNN Center, its downtown home since 1987, back to its original Techwood campus in Midtown by the end of 2023.
