Mr. Turner oversaw Time Warner's Cable Networks division, which included the assets of Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. (TBS, Inc.), the CNN Newsgroup, as well as Home Box Office, Cinemax, and the company's interests in Comedy Central and Court TV. He also oversaw New Line Cinema and the company's professional sports teams-the Atlanta Braves, Atlanta Hawks and Atlanta Thrashers. •• 2001 - In December 2001, AOL Time Warner CEO Gerald Levin announced plans to retire in May 2002 and declared that Parsons would succeed him. The move surprised many media watchers who assumed that COO Robert Pittman would take the helm. Parsons is also a Director of Citigroup. •• 2001 - In 2001, President Bush selected Parsons to cochair a commission on Social Security. Parsons also worked on the transition team for Michael Bloomberg when he was elected mayor of New York City in 2001. •• 2002 - May 2002, Parsons becomes Time Warner chief operating officer. •• 2001 - In January 2001, Ted Turner became Vice Chairman of AOL Time Warner, a position from which he served until May 2003. •• 2000 - AOL, Steve Case, Time Warner - Case, the former chief executive of AOL, was the driving force behind its ill-fated acquisition of Time Warner in 2000. So his call for a do-over, saying the merger was holding back the pieces of the empire he forged, came as a bit of a surprise. •• 2000 - Case had the right idea. As millions of homes sign up for high-speed Internet service, the Net is emerging as an important pipeline for entertainment. But like many online entrepreneurs, he got the timing wrong. Wiring the nation for broadband is taking longer than they thought, and entertainment companies have been slow to embrace the Net. Beyond that, it's no mean feat to meld disparate corporate cultures into a giant entertainment and electronics conglomerate for the sake of digital "convergence" -- as Vivendi Universal and Sony have also learned. •• 2000 - Case joined other restless Time Warner investors, such as billionaire Carl Icahn, in urging the company to break itself up. The company should ignore him. •• 2000 - As the Pew Internet & American Life Project pointed out earlier this year, "The Web has become the 'new normal' in the American way of life." Time Warner needs to figure out how to profit from this change. Owning AOL helps the company work out new business models for the broadband era. •• 2005 - TIME WARNER boss Richard Parsons has said that AOL is not for sale and Microsoft should keep its Volish paws off his crown jewels. •• 2005 - GLOBAL FORUM, BEIJING.

CLICK FOR CHINA 2005 Hu Jintao u TVInews TIMELINE •• 2005 - Officials from Time Warner, owner of the CNN and HBO television networks and the Warner Bros. movie studio, have met recently with counterparts from China Central Television (CCTV) and Shanghai Media Group (SMG) about ways they can work together, said Chief Executive Officer Richard Parsons. •• 2005 - "We have an awful lot of both content and expertise we think can be helpful to developing the TV industry here in China," Parsons told reporters at a media briefing at a business conference in Beijing. •• 2005 - "In terms of target dates, we're really at the beginning of trying to create these relationships and I would hope that by next year we would have some success." •• 2005 - Time Warner and many of its peers, including Sony Corp and Viacom Inc., have announced a string of TV- and movie-making ventures in recent months, following the opening of the industry to foreign investment late last year. •• 2005 - But whereas the others, including a News Corp. venture still in negotiations, are focused on TV programs, Time Warner's venture announced last year was focused on movie making, also a largely undeveloped sector in China. •• 2005 - In one of its few recent TV initiatives in China, the company's HBO unit formed a partnership last year to provide movies to CCTV. •• 2005 - Many believe that China has the potential to become one of the world's biggest media markets, with ad spending rising 25 percent last year to reach 194 billion yuan ($23.43 billion), according to CTR Market Research. •• 2005 - Parsons said Time Warner saw big potential in the Chinese market, but he acknowledged that any meaningful contributions to the company's sales were still at least five years off. He said that China and Hong Kong combined now contributed just half of 1 percent of Time Warner's total revenue. •• 2006 - "We're talking longer term in China," he said. "We're here now strengthening our relationships, getting our feet wet with local partners. ... We think over time it will pay huge dividends for our company, but that's a five- to 10-year timeframe." •• 2006 - Warner Makes Deal With YouTube / The record label grants the website's amateur filmmakers free use of its music in videos. / By Dawn C.
