Company Benefits
By the time Ross and Nicholas began their merger talks, Time Inc. was the third largest cable operator in the country, including its 23 percent stake in Turner Broadcasting System. Despite initiating talks in late 1987, the merger that created Time Warner was not completed until 1989, in part because Time Inc.’s executives delayed the merger until official investigations into the financial scandals of both WCI and Ross were cleared up. Ross shared CEO duties until early 1991 when Nicholas left the company. Ross died in December 1992, and Gerald (Jerry) Levin became CEO of Time Warner Inc.

About the CEO
Throughout the 1990s Time Warner expanded into new markets, including a Spanish-language version of People and a children’s edition of Time. The WB, a broadcast television network founded by Time Warner, first aired in January 1995. In 1996 the company acquired the outstanding shares of Turner Broadcasting System, which added not only cable television operations, such as CNN, TNT, and Cartoon Network, and the Warner Bros. film archive but the Atlanta Braves and Atlanta Hawks sports teams as well. In late 1999 Time Warner began merger talks with America Online, Inc. (AOL).
