Burke has held several key senior management positions at Time Warner and Turner Broadcasting.\u00a0 Hired as Director of Business Development for the Turner Entertainment Group, he developed the business plan for Turner Classic Movies (TCM) and led the development and launch of this network as its first General Manager. In the fall of 1995, Bill was named President of TBS Superstation, Ted Turner\u2019s flagship entertainment service. In October 1999, he was named CEO of News and Information for Time Warner Digital media, where he oversaw the operations of CNN Interactive and Time Inc.\u2019s Internet businesses.\u00a0 Burke, a TST\u00a0past guest<\/a>,\u00a0and Stevoe discussed the evolution of televisons and how Smart TV’s are the future.<\/p>\n

In 2008, Burke co-authored “Call Me Ted”, the autobiography of Ted Turner.\u00a0 Burke was called upon by Ted Turner (cable vision pioneer, founder of CNN and Turner Broadcasting) after he read Burke’s\u00a0article titled \u201cLeadership Lessons I Learned from Ted Turner. Burke had never written a book, and Turner\u2019s agent at first had considered a big-time author for the job, but conceded that intimacy proved more important than literary credentials.<\/p>\n

For all his achievements, around these parts Burke is known more for baseball. He is the son of Dan Burke, the late Portland Sea Dogs owner and one of the architects of the modern television industry.\u00a0 Stevoe asked Burke to make predictions for\u00a0both Game 5 and Game 6 of the ALCS series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
