BILL TUSH, CNN CORRESPONDENT: I was on the air before CNN went on. I was on the TBS side. And we did a one-hour special announcing to cable viewers what was going to happen, because nobody knew what CNN was and nobody, you know, had any concept of it. The thing I remember the most about it was watching Ted talk, because I had been with him at that time already about six, seven years.</s>TED TURNER, FOUNDER, CNN: ... to offer those who want it a choice, for the American people, who's thirst for understanding and a better life has made this venture possible; for the cable industry, who's pioneering spirit caused this great step forward in communications; and for those employees at Turner Broadcasting, whose total commitment to their company has brought us together, today I dedicate the news channel for America -- the Cable News Network.</s>TUSH: And it was very emotional for all of us, because we never knew what would happen. We never knew we would still be here.</s>TUSH: Thanks for being with us. We hope you enjoyed seeing what is an historic day in television. For all of us at the Turner Broadcasting System, thanks for being with us. Have a nice night.
