Outside the formerly defunct country club near Georgia Tech where the world's first all-news channel initially aired, a ceremony is planned this week to dedicate a significant piece of Midtown real estate to former media maverick, Atlanta sports team owner, environmental champion, and philanthropist Ted Turner.
Turner, 81, is expected to attend the Friday morning event, emceed by CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, on the lawn of the circa-1940 mansion once coined “Tara on Techwood.”
WarnerMedia officials will dedicate their Techwood campus to Turner, who founded Turner Broadcasting System and launched CNN in the plantation-style building’s basement four decades ago while he lived in a room upstairs.

ATLANTA - CNN is moving out of the CNN Center, its longtime downtown Atlanta home by the end of this year.
The cable channel’s weekday anchors are all already in New York or Washington, but CNN still has digital and CNN International operations in Atlanta.
Spokesperson Bridget Leininger confirmed in an email that the remaining CNN staff and operations in Atlanta would move to the Techwood Turner Broadcasting campus in Midtown.
The move will happen in stages and will finish by the end of this year, Leininger said.
CNN’s previous parent company, AT&T, sold the CNN Center for nearly $164 million to two Florida-based real estate firms, CP Group and Rialto Capital, in 2021.
