Turner Entertainment Company was initiated by Ted Turner in 1986 after he acquired MGM ( Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) and its library that at the time included all of the studio's pre-1986 output, the pre- 1948 Warner Bros. output, a majority of the RKO Radio Pictures library, and some United Artists material. When Turner sold back the MGM studio shortly after, he kept the library he had acquired, thus it was incorporated into Turner's company.

Turner Entertainment also played a huge part in film preservation and restoration, thus such classic films as Casablanca, King Kong, Easter Parade, and the original The Jazz Singer, can continue to be seen today via its TBS Superstation, TNT, and Turner Classic Movies cable channels, as well as in revival movie houses and home video. The films are also internationally distributed and shown by many channels arround the world.
