Huh. I was going to say "there's a name I haven't heard in a while", but that's not actually true - I've been watching Vice's "Who Killed WCW?", and Kellner's name comes up in the 4th episode as the final nail in WCW's coffin re: their timeslots on the Turner networks.
Interestingly, every network Kellner has had hands on - FOX, TheWB/CW, TNT/TBS - has added (WWE SmackDown on FOX, WWE NXT soon to air on the CW) or restored (AEW programming on the Turner Nets) pro wrestling to their air.
