Ted Turner to speak at UNC

This afternoon at 4, broadcasting magnate Ted Turner speaks at UNC at a free public event. Growing up in Atlanta in the 1970s, I remember watching shows like Gilligan’s Island on WTBS Channel 17. At school I would jokingly refer to him as “Uncle Ted” whenever my friends would ask if we were related.

I’m going to see if my schedule allows me to hear what Turner has to say today. I hope to ask him about his new venture, DT Solar, and what he thinks about the outrageous campaign finance requirements presidential candidates have as a result of not freeing the airwaves.
