“It's one of the things I respect about Time Warner and Turner: their understanding of CNN's independence.”
“It's a growing trend. Viewers are our customers, but so are advertisers. And advertisers want different ways to reach our viewers.”
“I'd like to run a professional football team. I'd love to run the USTA, be the sports editor of the 'New York Times.'”
“CNN is not and never will abandon our first and fundamental brand equity, which is news and breaking news.”
“The world has changed - we can all get news 24/7 from any device, any outlet... but we want to tell different stories in different ways, and add to the news.”
“We're in this transition period of figuring out how to deal with all the new technology that is out there, but television still proves to be the granddaddy of them all.”
“I like Donald. I guess I shouldn't call him that. I like President Trump. He's affable. He's funny.”
“I think the Internet has given rise to voices that want to attack others.”
“I've said this forever - I've always believed the Today show is more than the sum of its parts.”
“Local television is a slightly different story. It is under much more pressure in the same way that all local businesses are, whether that's a local newspaper, local radio or local television. But I think television in the aggregate is actually in very good shape.”
“Do not be intimidated. Go where the story goes. Report the facts. Make sure you've got it right. And don't let things that the president says or that the White House does throw you off your game.”
“People are looking for original content in many different places, as are advertisers. This takes us into a whole new ballgame.”
“The television business is actually going through a tremendous transition, but I think at the end of the day, television is still paramount.”
“I have had a unique relationship with Donald Trump. I'm also the one who put him and 'The Apprentice' on the air at NBC. I've known who he is and what he is for a long time.”
“In the cable news arena, you have two partisan networks looking out for their viewers. I think CNN needs to look out for the rest of us.”
“The critics of Donald Trump are looking for people to blame for his rise. There are many people who are either surprised by his strength or don't like him and want to blame someone to explain why he has been this popular.”
“In an increasingly polarized world, it's hard to know whom to trust. CNN will be the only news channel that doesn't take a side.”
“When the Paris terror attacks happen, when war breaks out in Ukraine, when unrest happens in Ferguson, people know that CNN is the place to come.”
“More traffic means more advertising dollars.”
“I don't regret putting 'The Apprentice' on television.”
