DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION	'
	1.       DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
	Description of Business
	Time Warner Inc. (“Time Warner” or the “Company”) is a leading media and entertainment company, whose businesses include television networks, film and TV entertainment and publishing. Time Warner classifies its operations into three reportable segments: Networks: consisting principally of cable television networks, premium pay and basic tier television services and digital media properties; Film and TV Entertainment: consisting principally of feature film, television, home video and videogame production and distribution; and Publishing: consisting principally of magazine publishing and related websites as well as book publishing and marketing businesses. Financial information for Time Warner's various reportable segments is presented in Note 12, “Segment Information.” See Note 2, “Business Dispositions,” for information regarding the separation of the Publishing segment from Time Warner.
	Basis of Presentation
	Interim Financial Statements
	The consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, they contain all of the adjustments (consisting of those of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applicable to interim periods. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of Time Warner included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the “2012 Form 10-K”).
	Basis of Consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include all of the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of entities in which Time Warner has a controlling interest (“subsidiaries”). Intercompany accounts and transactions between consolidated companies have been eliminated in consolidation.
	The financial position and operating results of most of the Company's foreign operations are consolidated using the local currency as the functional currency. Local currency assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange on the balance sheet date, and local currency revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the period. Translation gains or losses on assets and liabilities are included as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net.
	Recast of Historical Financial Results - CME Investment
	During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the Company recast its historical financial results to reflect the presentation of its investment in the Class A common stock and Series A convertible preferred stock (which is convertible into Class A common stock and votes with the Class A common stock on an as-adjusted basis) of Central European Media Enterprises Ltd. (“CME”) under the equity method of accounting for all prior periods from the date of the Company's initial investment in CME in May 2009. For more information, see Note 3, “Investments.”
	Reclassifications
	Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial information to conform to the September 30, 2013 presentation.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Significant estimates and judgments inherent in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements include accounting for asset impairments, multiple-element transactions, allowances for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, the determination of ultimate revenues as it relates to amortization of capitalized film and programming costs and participations and residuals, home video and videogames product and magazine returns, business combinations, pension and other postretirement benefits, equity-based compensation, income taxes, contingencies, litigation matters, reporting revenue for certain transactions on a gross versus net basis, and the determination of whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of entities in which it holds variable interests.
	Accounting Guidance Adopted in 2013
	Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
	On January 1, 2013, the Company adopted guidance on a retrospective basis requiring disclosure of the line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations affected by reclassification adjustments out of Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. For more information, see Note 7, “Shareholders' Equity.”
	Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities
	On January 1, 2013, the Company adopted guidance on a retrospective basis requiring disclosure of additional information about the Company's ability to offset certain financial instruments, specifically derivative instruments subject to master netting arrangements. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. For more information, see Note 6, “Derivative Instruments.”
	Accounting for Cumulative Translation Adjustments
	On January 1, 2013, the Company early adopted guidance on a prospective basis that requires the cumulative translation adjustment (“CTA”) related to a subsidiary or group of assets within a consolidated foreign entity to be released into earnings when an entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in that subsidiary or group of assets and the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity. For the sale of an equity method investment that is a foreign entity, a pro rata portion of CTA attributable to the investment will be recognized in earnings upon the sale of the investment. CTA will also be recognized in earnings in a step acquisition transaction. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
	Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
	Presentation of Unrecognized Tax Benefits
	In July 2013, guidance was issued that requires a liability related to an unrecognized tax benefit to be offset against a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed. In situations in which a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of a jurisdiction or the tax law of a jurisdiction does not require it, and the Company does not intend to use the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. This guidance, which will become effective for the Company on January 1, 2014 and will be applied on a prospective basis, is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
	Interim Impairment Testing of Goodwill, Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets at Time Inc.
	As discussed in more detail in Note 1, “Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Policies,” to the Company's consolidated financial statements in the 2012 Form 10-K, Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested annually for impairment during the fourth quarter or earlier upon the occurrence of certain events or substantive changes in circumstances. Long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, do not require that an annual impairment test be performed. Instead, long-lived assets are tested for impairment upon the occurrence of a triggering event. As a result of the Company's decision to spin off Time Inc., the Company assessed Goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets at Time Inc. for impairment as of September 30, 2013.
	The September 30, 2013 impairment test did not result in an impairment of Goodwill at Time Inc. because the fair value of the Time Inc. reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 10%. Had the fair value of the Time Inc. reporting unit been less than its carrying value, the Company would have been required to perform the second step of the impairment review process to determine the ultimate amount of the impairment loss to record. The significant assumptions utilized in the impairment test included projected future cash flows from Time Inc.'s 2013 budget and long-range plan, a discount rate of 11.5%, and a terminal growth rate of 2%. In addition, in conducting its impairment test, the Company considered trading multiples of comparable publicly-traded companies. For more information regarding the separation of Time Inc. from Time Warner, see Note 2, “Business Acquisitions and Dispositions.”
	Additionally, the impairment test did not result in the impairment of any indefinite-lived intangible assets at Time Inc. because the estimated fair value of such assets exceeded their respective carrying values. To illustrate the magnitude of the potential impairment relative to future changes in estimated fair value, had the fair value of a certain tradename at Time Inc. with an aggregate carrying value of $539 million been hypothetically 10% lower as of September 30, 2013, the aggregate carrying value of that tradename would have exceeded its fair value by $47 million. The significant assumptions utilized in the impairment tests of indefinite-lived intangible assets included a discount rate of 12.0% and a terminal growth rate of 2%.
	The impairment test for long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, utilized estimates of undiscounted future cash flows based on the use of the assets for their remaining useful life assuming the disposition transaction (i.e., the spin-off of the Publishing segment) does not occur. The impairment test did not result in the impairment of any long-lived assets.
	Although the September 30, 2013 impairment test did not result in an impairment of goodwill or intangible assets, market conditions in the publishing industry, including declines in print advertising revenues and newsstand sales, remain challenging. In addition, to date, certain of Time Inc.'s strategies and initiatives encompassed in Time Inc.'s current long-range plan have not met management's original expectations. During the third quarter of 2013, Time Inc. appointed a new chief executive officer and chief financial officer, who are in the process of reviewing Time Inc.'s current strategies and initiatives as well as developing new strategies and initiatives for Time Inc. as part of preparing a new long-range plan.  As a result, some of Time Inc.'s current strategies and initiatives could be modified, abandoned or replaced with new strategies and initiatives, which could change the Company's expectations of future cash flows. If market conditions or the Company's expectations of future cash flows are worse than the Company's current expectations, it is possible that the carrying values of the Time Inc. reporting unit and certain of its tradenames will exceed their respective fair values, which could result in the Company recognizing a noncash impairment of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets that could be material.
	Discontinued Operations
	During the third quarter of 2013, the Company recognized additional net tax benefits associated with certain foreign tax attributes of the Warner Music Group, which the Company disposed of in 2004. The net benefit of $137 million is recognized in Discontinued operations, net of tax in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

	Acquisition
	HBO Asia and HBO South Asia
	In September 2013, Home Box Office purchased its partner's interests in HBO Asia and HBO South Asia (collectively, “HBO Asia”) for $37 million in cash, net of cash acquired. HBO Asia operates HBO- and Cinemax- branded premium pay and basic tier television services serving over 15 countries in Asia. As a result of this acquisition, Home Box Office now owns 100% of HBO Asia and has consolidated their results of operations and financial condition effective September 30, 2013. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, Home Box Office recognized a $105 million gain upon the Company's acquisition of the controlling interests in HBO Asia. The operating results of HBO Asia did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
	Disposition
	Time Inc. Separation from Time Warner
	On March 6, 2013, Time Warner announced that its Board of Directors has authorized management to proceed with plans for the complete legal and structural separation of the Company's Publishing segment from Time Warner (the “Time Separation”). The Time Separation is currently expected to be effected as a spin-off of Time Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary. In the Time Separation, Time Warner will distribute all of its Time Inc. common stock to Time Warner stockholders, and Time Inc. will become an independent publicly-traded company. The Time Separation is contingent on the satisfaction of a number of conditions, including the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form 10 that Time Inc. will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Time Warner expects to complete the Time Separation during the second quarter of 2014.

	3.       INVESTMENTS
	CME
	CME is a publicly-traded broadcasting company operating leading networks in six Central and Eastern European countries.  During the second quarter of 2013, CME conducted a public offering of shares of its Class A common stock in which the Company purchased approximately 28.5 million shares for approximately $78 million in cash. As of September 30, 2013, the Company owned 61.4 million shares of CME's Class A common stock and 1 share of Series A convertible preferred stock, which is convertible into 11.2 million shares of CME's Class A common stock and votes with the Class A common stock on an as-converted basis. The combination of these holdings provide the Company with a 49.9% voting interest in CME's common stock.
	Since the Company's initial investment in CME in May 2009, CME founder and Non-Executive Chairman Ronald S. Lauder had controlled the voting rights associated with the Company's shares in CME pursuant to a voting agreement between the parties. During the second quarter of 2013, the voting agreement ended and the Company assumed control of the voting rights associated with its shares of Class A common stock and Series A convertible preferred stock. Prior to the second quarter of 2013, the Company accounted for its investment in CME under the cost method of accounting. However, as a result of the end of the voting agreement with Mr. Lauder, the Company began accounting for its investment in the Class A common stock and Series A convertible preferred stock of CME under the equity method of accounting. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, in the second quarter of 2013 the Company recast its historical financial results to reflect the presentation of its investment in the Class A common stock and Series A convertible preferred stock of CME under the equity method of accounting for all prior periods from the date of the Company's initial investment in CME in May 2009. The recast resulted in an increase in net income of $34 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and a decrease in net income of $5 million, $17 million, $16 million and $56 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, June 30, 2012, September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
	In addition, on June 25, 2013, the Company purchased $200 million of CME's newly-issued, non-voting Series B convertible redeemable preferred shares. The Series B convertible redeemable preferred shares will accrete in value through the third anniversary of closing at an annual rate of 7.5% compounded quarterly and from the third anniversary to the fifth anniversary of closing at an annual rate of 3.75% compounded quarterly. Thereafter, the Series B convertible redeemable preferred shares will no longer accrete in value. CME has the right, beginning on the third anniversary, to pay a cash dividend to the Company in lieu of further accretion. Each Series B convertible redeemable preferred share may be converted into shares of Class A common stock at the Company's option at any time after the third anniversary of the closing. The number of shares of Class A common stock received upon conversion would be determined by dividing the accreted value of the Series B convertible redeemable preferred shares (including any accrued but unpaid dividends) by the conversion price of $3.1625.  The Series B convertible redeemable preferred shares will also be redeemable at the option of CME at any time after the third anniversary of the closing; however, upon notice from CME of a proposed redemption, the Company may elect to receive cash or shares of Class A common stock. The Company accounts for its investment in the Series B convertible redeemable preferred shares of CME under the cost method of accounting.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	'
	4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
	A fair value measurement is determined based on the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability. A three-tiered hierarchy draws distinctions between market participant assumptions based on (i) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets (Level 1), (ii) inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2) and (iii) unobservable inputs that require the Company to use present value and other valuation techniques in the determination of fair value (Level 3). The following table presents information about assets and liabilities required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively (millions):

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, approximately $13 million of certain available-for-sale debt securities classified within Level 2 were transferred into available-for-sale equity securities and classified within Level 1 due to the initial public offering of the investee.
	As of September 30, 2013 and 2012, assets and liabilities valued using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) primarily consisted of an asset related to equity instruments held by employees of a former subsidiary of the Company, liabilities for contingent consideration and options to redeem securities. The following table reconciles the beginning and ending balances of net derivative assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 and identifies the total gains (losses) the Company recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, on such assets and liabilities that were included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively (millions):

	Other Financial Instruments
	The Company's other financial instruments, including debt, are not required to be carried at fair value. Based on the interest rates prevailing at September 30, 2013, the fair value of Time Warner's debt exceeded its carrying value by approximately $2.703 billion and, based on interest rates prevailing at December 31, 2012, the fair value of Time Warner's debt exceeded its carrying value by approximately $4.622 billion. The fair value of Time Warner's debt was considered a Level 2 measurement as it was based on observable market inputs such as current interest rates and, where available, actual sales transactions. Unrealized gains or losses on debt do not result in the realization or expenditure of cash and generally are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements unless the debt is retired prior to its maturity. The carrying value for the majority of the Company's other financial instruments approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the financial instruments or because the financial instruments are of a longer-term nature and are recorded on a discounted basis. For the remainder of the Company's other financial instruments, differences between the carrying value and fair value were not significant at September 30, 2013. The fair value of financial instruments is generally determined by reference to the market value of the instrument as quoted on a national securities exchange or an over-the-counter market. In cases where a quoted market value is not available, fair value is based on an estimate using present value or other valuation techniques.
	Non-Financial Instruments
	The majority of the Company's non-financial instruments, which include goodwill, intangible assets, inventories and property, plant and equipment, are not required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur (or at least annually for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets) such that a non-financial instrument is required to be evaluated for impairment, a resulting asset impairment would require that the non-financial instrument be recorded at the lower of cost or its fair value.
	During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company was required to perform impairment reviews of certain long-lived assets at certain Turner international subsidiaries. As a result of its reviews, the Company recorded noncash impairments of $5 million and $17 million, respectively, to write down the value of certain intangible assets to zero. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company was required to perform an impairment review of certain long-lived assets at Imagine, Turner's general entertainment network in India. As a result of its review, the Company recorded a noncash impairment of $19 million to write down the value of certain long-lived assets, primarily intangible assets, to zero. In both periods, the resulting fair value measurements were considered to be Level 3 measurements and were determined using a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) methodology with assumptions for cash flows associated with the use and eventual disposition of the assets.
	In determining the fair value of its theatrical films, the Company employs a DCF methodology that includes cash flow estimates of a film's ultimate revenue and costs as well as a discount rate. The discount rate utilized in the DCF analysis is based on the weighted average cost of capital of the respective business (e.g., Warner Bros.) plus a risk premium representing the risk associated with producing a particular theatrical film. The fair value of any theatrical film and television production that management plans to abandon is zero. As the primary determination of fair value is determined using a DCF model, the resulting fair value is considered a Level 3 measurement. The following table presents certain theatrical film and television production costs, which were recorded as inventory in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, that were written down to fair value (millions):
			Carrying value before write down		Carrying value after write down

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS	'
	6. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
	Time Warner uses derivative instruments, principally forward contracts, to manage the risk associated with the volatility of future cash flows denominated in foreign currencies and changes in fair value resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The principal currencies being hedged include the British Pound, Euro, Australian Dollar and Canadian Dollar. Time Warner uses foreign exchange contracts that generally have maturities of three to 18 months to hedge various foreign exchange exposures, including the following: (i) variability in foreign-currency-denominated cash flows, such as the hedges of unremitted or forecasted royalty and license fees owed to Time Warner's domestic companies for the sale or anticipated sale of U.S. copyrighted products abroad or cash flows for certain film production costs denominated in a foreign currency (i.e., cash flow hedges) and (ii) currency risk associated with foreign-currency-denominated operating assets and liabilities (i.e., fair value hedges). For these qualifying hedge relationships, the Company excludes the impact of forward points from its assessment of hedge effectiveness. As a result, changes in the fair value of forward points are recorded in Other loss, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations each quarter.
	The Company also enters into derivative contracts that economically hedge certain of its foreign currency risks, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting. These economic hedges are used primarily to offset the change in certain foreign currency denominated long-term receivables and certain foreign-currency-denominated debt due to changes in the underlying foreign exchange rates.
	Gains and losses from hedging activities recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, including hedge ineffectiveness, were not material for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. In addition, such gains and losses were largely offset by corresponding economic gains or losses from the respective transactions that were hedged.
	The Company monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions that are party to its financial transactions and has entered into collateral agreements with certain of these counterparties to further protect the Company in the event of deterioration of the credit quality of such counterparties on outstanding transactions. Additionally, netting provisions are included in agreements in situations where the Company executes multiple contracts with the same counterparty. The Company offsets the fair values of the foreign exchange derivatives contracts executed with the same counterparty and classifies that amount as a net asset or net liability within Prepaid expenses and other current assets or Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The following is a summary of amounts recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet pertaining to Time Warner's use of foreign currency derivatives at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (millions):
			September 30, 2013(a)		December 31, 2012(b)
		Prepaid expenses and other current assets	$	33	$	9

	(a)        Includes $81 million ($54 million of qualifying hedges and $27 million of economic hedges) and $54 million ($40 million of qualifying hedges and $14 million of economic hedges) of foreign exchange derivative contracts in asset and liability positions, respectively.
	(b)        Includes $79 million ($69 million of qualifying hedges and $10 million of economic hedges) and $101 million ($81 million of qualifying hedges and $20 million of economic hedges) of foreign exchange derivative contracts in asset and liability positions, respectively.
	At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $31 million and $19 million of gains, respectively, related to cash flow hedges are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net and are expected to be recognized in earnings at the same time the hedged items affect earnings. Included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net are deferred net gains of $21 million and $8 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, related to hedges of cash flows associated with films that are not expected to be released within the next twelve months.

(“Six Flags”), which has the controlling interest in the Parks, has agreed, pursuant to a subordinated indemnity agreement (the “Subordinated Indemnity Agreement”), to guarantee the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations when due and to indemnify Historic TW, among others, if the Six Flags Guarantee is called upon. If Six Flags defaults in its indemnification obligations, Historic TW has the right to acquire control of the managing partner of the Parks. Six Flags' obligations to Historic TW are further secured by its interest in all limited partnership units held by Six Flags.
	Because the Six Flags Guarantee existed prior to December 31, 2002 and no modifications to the arrangements have been made since the date the guarantee came into existence, the Company is required to continue to account for the Guaranteed Obligations as a contingent liability. Based on its evaluation of the current facts and circumstances surrounding the Guaranteed Obligations and the Subordinated Indemnity Agreement, the Company is unable to predict the loss, if any, that may be incurred under the Guaranteed Obligations, and no liability for the arrangements has been recognized at September 30, 2013. Because of the specific circumstances surrounding the arrangements and the fact that no active or observable market exists for this type of financial guarantee, the Company is unable to determine a current fair value for the Guaranteed Obligations and related Subordinated Indemnity Agreement.
	Contingencies
	In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are defendants in or parties to various legal claims, actions and proceedings. These claims, actions and proceedings are at varying stages of investigation, arbitration or adjudication, and involve a variety of areas of law.
	On October 8, 2004, certain heirs of Jerome Siegel, one of the creators of the “Superman” character, filed suit against the Company, DC Comics and Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Plaintiffs' complaint seeks an accounting and demands up to one-half of the profits made on Superman since the alleged April 16, 1999 termination by plaintiffs of Siegel's grants of one-half of the rights to the Superman character to DC Comics' predecessor-in-interest. Plaintiffs have also asserted various Lanham Act and unfair competition claims, alleging “wasting” of the Superman property by DC Comics, and the Company has filed counterclaims. On March 26, 2008, the court entered an order of summary judgment finding, among other things, that plaintiffs' notices of termination were valid and that plaintiffs had thereby recaptured, as of April 16, 1999, their rights to a one-half interest in the Superman story material, as first published, but that the accounting for profits would not include profits attributable to foreign exploitation, republication of pre-termination works and trademark exploitation. On January 10, 2013, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversed the district court's decision to grant summary judgment in plaintiffs' favor, holding that the parties reached a binding settlement agreement in 2001, and directed the district court to reconsider its ruling on DC Comics' counterclaims challenging the validity of the plaintiffs' termination notices. By orders dated March 20, 2013, April 18, 2013, and June 18, 2013, the district court, among other things, granted summary judgment and entered final judgment in this lawsuit and the related Superboy lawsuit, described below, in DC Comics' favor, ruling that the plaintiffs had transferred any and all rights in the Superman and Superboy properties to DC Comics in 2001 pursuant to a binding settlement agreement. On July 16, 2013, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal from the final judgment to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
	On October 22, 2004, the same Siegel heirs filed a related lawsuit against the same defendants, as well as Warner Communications Inc. and Warner Bros. Television Production Inc., in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Plaintiffs claim that Siegel was the sole creator of the character Superboy and, as such, DC Comics has had no right to create new Superboy works since the alleged October 17, 2004 termination by plaintiffs of Siegel's grants of rights to the Superboy character to DC Comics' predecessor-in-interest. This lawsuit seeks a declaration regarding the validity of the alleged termination and an injunction against future use of the Superboy character. As described in the paragraph above regarding the Superman lawsuit, by orders dated April 18, 2013 and June 18, 2013, the district court, among other things, entered final judgment in DC Comics' favor, ruling that the plaintiffs had transferred any and all rights in the Superman and Superboy properties to DC Comics in 2001 pursuant to a binding settlement agreement. On July 16, 2013, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal from the final judgment to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
	On May 14, 2010, DC Comics filed a related lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California against the heirs of Superman co-creator Joseph Shuster, the Siegel heirs, their attorney Marc Toberoff and certain companies that Mr. Toberoff controls. The lawsuit asserts a claim for declaratory relief concerning the validity and scope of the copyright termination notice served by the Shuster heirs, which, together with the termination notices served by the Siegel heirs described above, purports to preclude DC Comics from creating new Superman and/or Superboy works for distribution and sale in the United States after October 26, 2013. The lawsuit also asserts state law-based claims, including seeking declaratory relief with respect to, inter alia, the validity of various agreements between Mr. Toberoff, his companies and the Shuster and Siegel heirs, and claims for intentional interference by Mr. Toberoff with DC Comics' contracts and prospective economic advantage with the Shuster and Siegel heirs, for which DC Comics seeks monetary damages. On October 17, 2012, the district court granted partial summary judgment in favor of DC Comics, holding that, among other things, the copyright termination notice served by the Shuster heirs is invalid and the agreements referenced above interfered with DC Comics' rights under the copyright termination provisions. On December 11, 2012, defendants filed a notice of appeal of the district court's ruling with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. On April 4, 2013, the district court granted summary judgment in favor of defendants on DC Comics' intentional interference claims and denied without prejudice summary judgment on the unfair competition-based claim pending resolution of defendants' appeal before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
	On April 4, 2007, the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”) issued a complaint against CNN America Inc. (“CNN America”) and Team Video Services, LLC (“Team Video”). This administrative proceeding relates to CNN America's December 2003 and January 2004 terminations of its contractual relationships with Team Video, under which Team Video had provided electronic newsgathering services in Washington, DC and New York, NY. The National Association of Broadcast Employees and Technicians, under which Team Video's employees were unionized, initially filed charges of unfair labor practices with the NLRB in February 2004, alleging that CNN America and Team Video were joint employers, that CNN America was a successor employer to Team Video, and/or that CNN America discriminated in its hiring practices to avoid becoming a successor employer or due to specific individuals' union affiliation or activities. The NLRB complaint seeks, among other things, the reinstatement of certain union members and monetary damages. On November 19, 2008, the presiding NLRB Administrative Law Judge issued a non-binding recommended decision, finding CNN America liable. On February 17, 2009, CNN America filed exceptions to this decision with the NLRB.
	On March 10, 2009, Anderson News L.L.C. and Anderson Services L.L.C. (collectively, “Anderson News”) filed an antitrust lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against several magazine publishers, distributors and wholesalers, including Time Inc. and one of its subsidiaries, Time/Warner Retail Sales & Marketing, Inc. Plaintiffs allege that defendants violated Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act by engaging in an antitrust conspiracy against Anderson News, as well as other related state law claims. Plaintiffs are seeking unspecified monetary damages. On August 2, 2010, the court granted defendants' motions to dismiss the complaint with prejudice and, on October 25, 2010, the court denied Anderson News' motion for reconsideration of that dismissal. On November 8, 2010, Anderson News appealed and, on April 3, 2012, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit vacated the district court's dismissal of the complaint and remanded the case to the district court. On January 7, 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court denied defendants' petition for writ of certiorari to review the judgment of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit vacating the district court's dismissal of the complaint. The case continues to proceed before the district court.
	In April 2013, the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) Appeals Division issued a notice of deficiency to the Company relating to the appropriate tax characterization of stock warrants received from a third party in 2002. On May 6, 2013, the Company filed a petition with the United States Tax Court seeking a redetermination of the deficiency set forth in the notice. The Company's petition asserts that the IRS erred in determining that the stock warrants were taxable upon exercise (in 2004) rather than at the date of grant based on, among other things, a misapplication of Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code. Should the IRS prevail in this litigation, the additional tax payable by the Company would be approximately $70 million.
	The Company intends to vigorously defend against or prosecute, as applicable, the matters described above.
	The Company establishes an accrued liability for legal claims when the Company determines that a loss is both probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Once established, accruals are adjusted from time to time, as appropriate, in light of additional information. The amount of any loss ultimately incurred in relation to matters for which an accrual has been established may be higher or lower than the amounts accrued for such matters.
	For matters disclosed above for which a loss is probable or reasonably possible, whether in excess of an accrued liability or where there is no accrued liability, the Company has estimated a range of possible loss. The Company believes the estimate of the aggregate range of possible loss in excess of accrued liabilities for such matters is between $0 and $65 million at September 30, 2013. The estimated aggregate range of possible loss is subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions. The matters represented in the estimated aggregate range of possible loss will change from time to time and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate.
	In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of litigation and claims, the Company often cannot predict what the eventual outcome of the pending matters will be, what the timing of the ultimate resolution of these matters will be, or what the eventual loss, fines or penalties related to each pending matter may be. An adverse outcome in one or more of these matters could be material to the Company's results of operations or cash flows for any particular reporting period.
	Income Tax Uncertainties
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded net decreases to income tax reserves of approximately $11 million, of which approximately $8 million impacted the Company's effective tax rate for continuing operations. In addition, the Company recorded $63 million of tax reserves related to discontinued foreign operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded increases to interest reserves related to the income tax reserves of approximately $12 million.
	In the Company's judgment, uncertainties related to certain tax matters are reasonably possible of being resolved during the next twelve months.  The effect of such resolution, which could vary based on the final terms and timing of actual settlements with taxing authorities, is estimated to be a reduction of recorded unrecognized tax benefits ranging from $20 million to $650 million, most of which would decrease the Company's effective tax rate.

	Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements
	The Company's collaborative arrangements primarily relate to arrangements entered into with third parties to jointly finance and distribute theatrical productions (“co-financing arrangements”) and the arrangement entered into with CBS Broadcasting, Inc. (“CBS”) and The National Collegiate Athletic Association (the “NCAA”) that provides Turner and CBS with exclusive television, Internet and wireless rights to the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship events (the “NCAA Tournament”) in the United States and its territories and possessions from 2011 through 2024.
	For the Company's collaborative arrangements entered into with third parties to jointly finance and distribute theatrical productions, net participation costs of $108 million and $130 million were recorded in Costs of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $351 million and $300 million were recorded in Costs of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	The aggregate programming rights fee, production costs, advertising revenues and sponsorship revenues related to the NCAA Tournament and related programming are shared equally by Turner and CBS. However, if the amount paid for the programming rights fee and production costs, in any given year, exceeds advertising and sponsorship revenues for that year, CBS' share of such shortfall is limited to specified annual amounts (the “loss cap”), ranging from approximately $90 million to $30 million.  The amount incurred by the Company pursuant to the loss cap during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was not significant.

Condensed Financial Information of Parent Company Only Disclosure [Abstract]	'
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION - CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS	'
	Overview
	Set forth below are condensed consolidating financial statements presenting the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of (i) Time Warner Inc. (the “Parent Company”), (ii) Historic TW Inc. (in its own capacity and as successor by merger to Time Warner Companies, Inc.), Home Box Office, Inc., and Turner Broadcasting System, Inc., each a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent Company (collectively, the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”), on a combined basis, (iii) the direct and indirect non-guarantor subsidiaries of the Parent Company (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”), on a combined basis, and (iv) the eliminations necessary to arrive at the information for Time Warner Inc. on a consolidated basis. The Guarantor Subsidiaries, fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally, guarantee securities issued under certain of the Company's indentures on an unsecured basis.
	There are no legal or regulatory restrictions on the Parent Company's ability to obtain funds from any of its wholly owned subsidiaries through dividends, loans or advances.
	Basis of Presentation
	In presenting the condensed consolidating financial statements, the equity method of accounting has been applied to (i) the Parent Company's interests in the Guarantor Subsidiaries and (ii) the Guarantor Subsidiaries' interests in the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, where applicable, even though all such subsidiaries meet the requirements to be consolidated under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. All intercompany balances and transactions between the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries have been eliminated, as shown in the column “Eliminations.”
	The Parent Company's accounting bases in all subsidiaries, including goodwill and identified intangible assets, have been “pushed down” to the applicable subsidiaries. Corporate overhead expenses have been reflected as expenses of the Parent Company and have not been allocated to the Guarantor Subsidiaries or the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. Interest income (expense) is determined based on third-party debt and the relevant intercompany amounts within the respective legal entity.
	All direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries are included in Time Warner Inc.'s consolidated U.S. tax return. In the condensed consolidating financial statements, tax expense has been allocated based on each such subsidiary's relative pretax income to the consolidated pretax income. With respect to the use of certain consolidated tax attributes (principally operating and capital loss carryforwards), such benefits have been allocated to the respective subsidiary that generated the taxable income permitting such use (i.e., pro-rata based on where the income was generated). For example, to the extent a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary generated a gain on the sale of a business for which the Parent Company utilized tax attributes to offset such gain, the tax attribute benefit would be allocated to that Non-Guarantor Subsidiary. Deferred taxes of the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries have been allocated based on the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of the respective assets and liabilities of the applicable entities.
	Certain transfers of cash between subsidiaries and their parent companies and intercompany dividends are reflected as cash flows from investing and financing activities in the accompanying condensed consolidating statements of cash flows. All other intercompany activity is reflected in cash flows from operations.
	Management believes that the allocations and adjustments noted above are reasonable.  However, such allocations and adjustments may not be indicative of the actual amounts that would have been incurred had the Parent Company, Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries operated independently.

Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2013
AccountingPoliciesAbstract	'
Long-Lived Assets	'
	The impairment test for long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, utilized estimates of undiscounted future cash flows based on the use of the assets for their remaining useful life assuming the disposition transaction (i.e., the spin-off of the Publishing segment) does not occur. The impairment test did not result in the impairment of any long-lived assets.
	Long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, do not require that an annual impairment test be performed. Instead, long-lived assets are tested for impairment upon the occurrence of a triggering event. As a result of the Company's decision to spin off Time Inc., the Company assessed Goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets at Time Inc. for impairment as of September 30, 2013.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets	'
	The September 30, 2013 impairment test did not result in an impairment of Goodwill at Time Inc. because the fair value of the Time Inc. reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 10%. Had the fair value of the Time Inc. reporting unit been less than its carrying value, the Company would have been required to perform the second step of the impairment review process to determine the ultimate amount of the impairment loss to record. The significant assumptions utilized in the impairment test included projected future cash flows from Time Inc.'s 2013 budget and long-range plan, a discount rate of 11.5%, and a terminal growth rate of 2%. In addition, in conducting its impairment test, the Company considered trading multiples of comparable publicly-traded companies. For more information regarding the separation of Time Inc. from Time Warner, see Note 2, “Business Acquisitions and Dispositions.”
	Additionally, the impairment test did not result in the impairment of any indefinite-lived intangible assets at Time Inc. because the estimated fair value of such assets exceeded their respective carrying values. To illustrate the magnitude of the potential impairment relative to future changes in estimated fair value, had the fair value of a certain tradename at Time Inc. with an aggregate carrying value of $539 million been hypothetically 10% lower as of September 30, 2013, the aggregate carrying value of that tradename would have exceeded its fair value by $47 million. The significant assumptions utilized in the impairment tests of indefinite-lived intangible assets included a discount rate of 12.0% and a terminal growth rate of 2%.
	As discussed in more detail in Note 1, “Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Policies,” to the Company's consolidated financial statements in the 2012 Form 10-K, Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested annually for impairment during the fourth quarter or earlier upon the occurrence of certain events or substantive changes in circumstances.

Level 3 Asset and Liability Reconciliation	'
	As of September 30, 2013 and 2012, assets and liabilities valued using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) primarily consisted of an asset related to equity instruments held by employees of a former subsidiary of the Company, liabilities for contingent consideration and options to redeem securities. The following table reconciles the beginning and ending balances of net derivative assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 and identifies the total gains (losses) the Company recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, on such assets and liabilities that were included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively (millions):

Fair Value Measurements, Nonrecurring	'
	In determining the fair value of its theatrical films, the Company employs a DCF methodology that includes cash flow estimates of a film's ultimate revenue and costs as well as a discount rate. The discount rate utilized in the DCF analysis is based on the weighted average cost of capital of the respective business (e.g., Warner Bros.) plus a risk premium representing the risk associated with producing a particular theatrical film. The fair value of any theatrical film and television production that management plans to abandon is zero. As the primary determination of fair value is determined using a DCF model, the resulting fair value is considered a Level 3 measurement. The following table presents certain theatrical film and television production costs, which were recorded as inventory in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, that were written down to fair value (millions):
