Ted Turner built the Braves’ national reach through cable television, while Bobby Cox shaped the franchise through decades of leadership and sustained division dominance.
While he didn't dream up the concept of cable TV or even launch its first culturally significant network - HBO gets that honor - Turner, an outsider who built his empire from Atlanta instead of New York or Hollywood, had an almost dogmatic belief in the industry's potential to break up the monopoly that the Big Three broadcast networks had maintained for decades.
