Company facts: Time Warner
Article Abstract:
Time Warner was created from the merger of Time and Warner Communications in 1989. The group is involved in motion pictures, television and magazines. Time also plans to acquire Turner Broadcasting. The acquisition of Warner led to a debt of $11 billion which has meant high servicing costs. Sales of assets are required despite an improvement in trading. The company's debts could hamper its progress, though Time Warner believes that a combination of information and distribution media will lead to large profits.
