Concept
It has been widely speculated that in 1993 media mogul Ted Turner, founder of the 24-hour news network CNN, was inspired to create a talk show after walking through the atrium of the company’s headquarters in Atlanta, The CNN Center. As the story goes, Turner walked through the ground floor of the CNN Center and saw the sunlight shining down into the atrium. He had a revelation that the side of atrium in front of The Turner Store would be a great place for a talk show. So one year later and after millions of dollars in renovations, a portion of The CNN Center food court was transformed into a state of the art broadcast studio that seated over two hundred people and “CNN Talk Back Live” was created. One of CNN’s top producers was tapped to head up this new concept, Teya Ryan, an award winning producer in charge of CNN’s environmental features.

Famous quotes containing the word concept:
“The new concept of the child as equal and the new integration of children into adult life has helped bring about a gradual but certain erosion of these boundaries that once separated the world of children from the word of adults, boundaries that allowed adults to treat children differently than they treated other adults because they understood that children are different.”
—Marie Winn (20th century)
“The heritage of the American Revolution is forgotten, and the American government, for better and for worse, has entered into the heritage of Europe as though it were its patrimony—unaware, alas, of the fact that Europe’s declining power was preceded and accompanied by political bankruptcy, the bankruptcy of the nation-state and its concept of sovereignty.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“Every new concept first comes to the mind in a judgment.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
