Turner Entertainment

Turner Entertainment Company, Inc. (commonly known as Turner Entertainment Co.) is a media company founded by Ted Turner. The company is largely responsible for overseeing its library for worldwide distribution. From 2001-2017, Turner held distribution rights to rerun and air new episodes of the Pokémon anime series on Cartoon Network/Boomerang. After Time Warner, owner of Turner, refused to renew the lease, the rights were transferred to Disney, who then started airing reruns and new episodes under its Disney XD channel.
