Tribute Will Include Exclusive Interview with Ted Turner in Honor of TCM's 25th Anniversary Celebration

Turner Classic Movies (TCM) will honor its founder and media titan, Ted Turner, on opening night of the 10th annual TCM Classic Film Festival on April 11. TCM Host Ben Mankiewicz sat down for an exclusive interview with Mr. Turner where they explored Turner's cultural impact on the film and television industry, his deep passion for preserving and sharing classic film with future generations, and the special place TCM holds in the entertainment industry. The interview and video tribute will premiere on opening night of the festival with Mr. Turner in attendance.

Without Ted Turner there simply would be no Turner Classic Movies. Ted's maverick spirit saw the potential in utilizing Hollywood's great film libraries on a TV network that could serve as a home for these iconic classics, said Jennifer Dorian, general manager of TCM. There is no greater place to honor his work and his legacy than at the TCM Classic Film Festival while the brand celebrates its 25th anniversary - a milestone we couldn't have reached without Ted's incredible vision.

Turner Classic Movies was a passion project of mine, born of my love for classic films, said Ted Turner. I'm very proud to have played a role in honoring these great works through the years, and hope they continue to provide just as much joy and entertainment to TCM viewers as they have to me.
