Ask Ted Turner

He's been a media titan, a bison rancher and Mr. Jane Fonda. Ted Turner, who launched the 24-hour-news revolution when he founded CNN in 1980, built a cable TV giant while gaining fame as the "Mouth of the South" for his frank talk. He's now the largest private landowner in the United States and raises the largest private herd of bison in the world (many of whom end up on the menu at his chain of restaurants, Ted's Montana Grill). His memoir, Call Me Ted, is in bookstores Nov. 10. Use the form below to submit your questions for Ted Turner; then look for the upcoming interview in TIME magazine.
