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 and film and TV entertainment. Time Warner classifies its operations into three reportable segments: Turner: consisting principally of cable networks and digital media properties; Home Box Office: consisting principally of premium pay television services domestically and premium pay and basic tier television services internationally; and Warner Bros.: consisting principally of feature film, television, home video and videogame production and distribution.
	Separation of Time Inc.
	On June 6, 2014 (the “Distribution Date”), the Company completed the legal and structural separation of the Company's Time Inc. segment from the Company (the “Time Separation”). The Time Separation was effected as a pro rata dividend of all shares of Time Inc. common stock held by Time Warner in a spin-off to Time Warner stockholders. With the completion of the Time Separation, the Company disposed of the Time Inc. segment in its entirety and ceased to consolidate its assets, liabilities and results of operations in the Company's consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the Company has recast its financial information to present the financial condition and results of operations of its former Time Inc. segment as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. For a summary of discontinued operations, see Note 2.
	In connection with the Time Separation, the Company received $1.4 billion from Time Inc., consisting of proceeds relating to Time Inc.'s acquisition of the IPC publishing business in the U.K. from a wholly-owned subsidiary of Time Warner and a special dividend.
	Basis of Presentation
	Changes in Basis of Presentation
	The 2013 financial information has been recast so that the basis of presentation is consistent with that of the 2014 financial information. This recast reflects the financial condition and results of operations of the Company's former Time Inc. segment as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
	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, 2013 (the “2013 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 entities have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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, 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 should consolidate certain entities.
	Venezuela Currency
	Certain of the Company's divisions conduct business in Venezuela. As of June 30, 2014, the Company has $139 million of net Venezuelan Bolivares Fuertes (“VEF”) denominated consolidated monetary assets, primarily consisting of cash and accounts receivable, which have been remeasured at the official exchange rate as published by the Central Bank of Venezuela of 6.3 VEF to each U.S. Dollar. However, because of Venezuelan government-imposed restrictions on the exchange of foreign currency in Venezuela, the Company has not been able to convert VEF earned in Venezuela into U.S. Dollars at the official government rate. While there are two other legal exchange systems available in Venezuela, the Company believes the official exchange rate is appropriate to use as its remeasurement rate at June 30, 2014 for several reasons, including (i) the Company's belief that it is not eligible to access those other exchange systems, (ii) a lack of clarity about those exchange systems' stability and transaction volume and (iii) the Company's inability to access Venezuelan currency exchange markets operated by the government in the past several years.  If the Company had used the least favorable legal published exchange rate as of June 30, 2014 to remeasure its VEF-denominated consolidated monetary assets, the Company would have recognized foreign exchange losses of approximately $121 million, on a pretax basis, in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
	Accounting Guidance Adopted in 2014
	Presentation of Unrecognized Tax Benefits
	On January 1, 2014, the Company adopted on a prospective basis guidance requiring 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 would be presented in the financial statements as a liability and will not be combined with deferred tax assets. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
	Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
	Revenue Recognition
	In May 2014, guidance was issued that establishes a new revenue recognition framework in U.S. GAAP for all companies and industries. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue from the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive for those goods or services. The guidance includes a five-step framework to determine the timing and amount of revenue to recognize related to contracts with customers.  In addition, this guidance requires new or expanded disclosures related to the judgments made by companies when following this framework.  The guidance will become effective on either a full or modified retrospective basis for the Company on January 1, 2017.  The Company is evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
	Discontinued Operations
	In April 2014, guidance was issued that raises the threshold for disposals to qualify as discontinued operations. Under this new guidance, a discontinued operation is (i) a component of an entity or group of components that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results or (ii) an acquired business that is classified as held for sale on the acquisition date. This guidance also requires expanded or new disclosures for discontinued operations, individually material disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation, an entity's continuing involvement with a discontinued operation following disposal and retained equity method investments in a discontinued operation. This guidance will become effective on a prospective basis for the Company on January 1, 2015 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

	2. BUSINESS DISPOSITIONS AND ACQUISITIONS
	Separation of Time Inc.
	As discussed in Note 1, on June 6, 2014, the Company completed the legal and structural separation of the Company's Time Inc. segment from the Company. With the completion of the Time Separation, the Company disposed of the Time Inc. segment in its entirety and ceased to consolidate its assets, liabilities and results of operations in the Company's consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the Company has recast its financial information to present the financial condition and results of operations of its former Time Inc. segment as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.
	Eyeworks
	On June 2, 2014, Warner Bros. acquired the operations outside the U.S. of Eyeworks Group, a television production and distribution company, which are located in 15 countries across Europe, South America, Australia and New Zealand, for approximately $267 million, net of cash acquired (the “Eyeworks Acquisition”). The Eyeworks Acquisition did not significantly impact the Company's consolidated financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.
	Summary of Discontinued Operations
	Discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 reflect the financial condition and results of operations of Time Inc. and is as follows (millions, except per share amounts):

	3.       INVESTMENTS
	Central European Media Enterprises Ltd.
	During the second quarter of 2014, Time Warner and Central European Media Enterprises Ltd. (“CME”) completed a series of related financing transactions.
	On May 2, 2014, pursuant to a rights offering by CME, Time Warner acquired approximately 2.8 million units, each consisting of $100 principal amount of 15% senior secured notes due 2017 (the “Senior Secured Notes”) and 21 unit warrants, with each unit warrant entitling the Company to purchase one share of CME Class A common stock. In addition, Time Warner acquired 581,533 units in a private offering, and CME issued warrants to Time Warner to purchase an additional 30 million shares of Class A common stock. The warrants issued to Time Warner, including the unit warrants in connection with the rights offering and the private offering, have a four-year term and an exercise price of $1.00 per share, do not contain any voting rights and are not exercisable until the second anniversary of their issuance. The warrants are subject to a limited right whereby the Company can exercise any of its warrants earlier solely to own up to 49.9% of CME's Class A common stock.
	Additionally, Time Warner provided CME with a $115 million revolving credit facility and a $30 million term loan that mature on December 1, 2017. Amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility will bear interest at a rate per annum based on LIBOR (subject to a minimum rate of 1.00%) plus 14%. CME can pay accrued interest for an applicable quarterly interest period either fully in cash or by adding such amount to the principal amount of the revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility also contains a commitment fee on the average daily unused amount under the facility of 0.50% per annum. As of June 30, 2014, no amounts have been drawn under the revolving credit facility. The $30 million term loan bears interest at a rate of 15.0% per annum, paid semi-annually either fully in cash or by adding such amount to the principal amount of the loan.
	These transactions did not change the Company's approximate 49% voting interest, but resulted in the Company holding an approximate 75% economic interest in CME on a diluted basis. The Company accounts for its investment in CME's Class A common stock and Series A convertible preferred stock under the equity method of accounting. The Company accounts for its investment in CME's Series B convertible redeemable preferred shares under the cost method of accounting. The warrants issued to Time Warner are recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The initial value of the warrants was recognized as a discount to the Senior Secured Notes and term loan and a deferred gain related to providing the revolving credit facility. The Senior Secured Notes are accounted for at the amortized cost and classified as held-to-maturity in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

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 June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively (millions):

	(a)        Consists of investments related to deferred compensation.
	The Company primarily applies the market approach for valuing recurring fair value measurements.
	As of both June 30, 2014 and 2013, assets and liabilities valued using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) primarily consisted of assets related to equity instruments held by employees of former subsidiaries of the Company, liabilities for contingent consideration and options to redeem securities. The balance as of June 30, 2014 also includes an asset of $212 million related to warrants to purchase shares of CME Class A common stock. The Company estimates the fair value of these warrants using a Monte Carlo Simulation model. Significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement at June 30, 2014 are an expected term of 3.2 years and an expected volatility of approximately 83%. 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 six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 on such assets and liabilities that were included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 (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 June 30, 2014, the fair value of Time Warner's debt exceeded its carrying value by approximately $4.024 billion and, based on interest rates prevailing at December 31, 2013, the fair value of Time Warner's debt exceeded its carrying value by approximately $2.754 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.
	At June 30, 2014, the estimated fair value of the Company's investment in CME's Class A common stock, Series A convertible preferred stock and Series B convertible redeemable preferred shares exceeded its carrying value by approximately $150 million. At June 30, 2014, the Company's investment in CME's Senior Secured Notes is recorded at the amortized cost of $198 million, which approximates fair value.
	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.
	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), a non-financial instrument is required to be evaluated for impairment. If the Company determines that the non-financial instrument is impaired, the Company would be required to write down the non-financial instrument to its fair value.
	During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company performed impairment reviews of certain intangible assets at international subsidiaries of Turner and Home Box Office. As a result, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded noncash impairments of $5 million to write down the value of these assets to $7 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company performed an impairment review of certain intangible assets at an international subsidiary of Turner. As a result, the Company recorded noncash impairments of $12 million to write down the value of these assets to zero at June 30, 2013. 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):

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 due to forward points are recorded in Other income (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 six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. 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. For such foreign exchange contracts, the Company offsets the fair value of the amounts owed to or due from the counterparty and classifies the net 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 June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (millions):
			June 30, 2014(a)		December 31, 2013(b)
		Prepaid expenses and other current assets	$	5	$	10
		Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		-23		-17
	___________
	(a)        Includes $59 million ($51 million of qualifying hedges and $8 million of economic hedges) and $77 million ($50 million of qualifying hedges and $27 million of economic hedges) of foreign exchange derivative contracts in asset and liability positions, respectively.
	(b)        Includes $77 million ($64 million of qualifying hedges and $13 million of economic hedges) and $84 million ($53 million of qualifying hedges and $31 million of economic hedges) of foreign exchange derivative contracts in asset and liability positions, respectively.
	At both June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $28 million of gains 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 at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are net gains of $4 million and $21 million, respectively, related to hedges of cash flows associated with films that are not expected to be released within the next twelve months.

	The following table sets forth the weighted average grant date fair value of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and target performance stock units (“PSUs”). For PSUs, the service inception date precedes the grant date and requires the Company to apply mark-to-market accounting that is reflected in the grant date fair values presented:

		RSUs	2.6		3.2
		PSUs	0.2		0.2
	In connection with the Time Separation and in accordance with existing antidilution provisions in the Company's equity plans, the number of stock options, RSUs and PSUs outstanding at the Distribution Date and the exercise prices of such stock options were prospectively adjusted to maintain the value of those awards subsequent to the Time Separation. The changes in the number of shares subject to outstanding equity awards and the exercise prices were determined by comparing the value of such awards immediately prior to the Time Separation to the value of such awards immediately after the Time Separation. Accordingly, each equity award outstanding as of the Distribution Date was increased by multiplying the number of shares subject to such award by a factor of approximately 1.04, while the per share exercise price of each stock option was decreased by dividing by a factor of approximately 1.04. The adjustments resulted in an increase of approximately 2 million shares subject to outstanding equity awards following the Time Separation. The adjustments to the outstanding equity awards did not result in any additional compensation expense.
	Compensation expense recognized for equity-based awards is as follows (millions):

	In connection with the Company's former investment in the Six Flags theme parks located in Georgia and Texas (collectively, the “Parks”), in 1997, certain subsidiaries of the Company (including Historic TW and, in connection with the separation of TWC in 2009, Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.) agreed to guarantee (the “Six Flags Guarantee”) certain obligations of the partnerships that hold the Parks (the “Partnerships”) for the benefit of the limited partners in such Partnerships, including: annual payments made at the Parks or to the limited partners and additional obligations at the end of the respective terms for the Partnerships in 2027 and 2028 (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The aggregate undiscounted estimated future cash flow requirements covered by the Six Flags Guarantee over the remaining term (through 2028) are $935 million (for a net present value of $418 million). To date, no payments have been made by the Company pursuant to the Six Flags Guarantee.
	Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (formerly known as Six Flags, Inc. and Premier Parks Inc.) (“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 June 30, 2014. 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. (now known as Warner Communications LLC) 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 April 4, 2013, the district court granted summary judgment in favor of defendants on DC Comics' state law intentional interference claims. On November 21, 2013, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed the district court's October 2012 decision. On January 21, 2014, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit denied defendants' request for a rehearing of the court's November 2013 decision. On June 20, 2014, the Shuster heirs filed a petition for writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court.
	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.
	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 Google Inc. 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 $130 million at June 30, 2014. 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 six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded net increases to income tax reserves of approximately $32 million, of which approximately $20 million impacted the Company's effective tax rate. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded increases to interest reserves related to the income tax reserves of approximately $35 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 $0 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 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 $187 million and $155 million were recorded in Costs of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $305 million and $243 million were recorded in Costs of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, 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, ranging from approximately $90 million to $30 million.

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
	The Company's financial information has been recast to reflect the financial condition and results of operations of the Company's former Time Inc. segment as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Amounts presented in the Consolidating Balance Sheet at December 31, 2013 related to discontinued operations of the Parent Company and the Guarantor Subsidiaries principally relate to the impact of the Time Separation on the Parent Company's and the Guarantor Subsidiaries' deferred income taxes.
	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 outstanding debt and the relevant intercompany amounts at the respective subsidiary.
	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 determined based on the temporary differences between the book and tax basis 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_1

Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2014
Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Long-Lived Assets	'
	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), a non-financial instrument is required to be evaluated for impairment. If the Company determines that the non-financial instrument is impaired, the Company would be required to write down the non-financial instrument to its fair value.
Cost of Sales	'
	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.
Income Taxes	'
	Presentation of Unrecognized Tax Benefits
	On January 1, 2014, the Company adopted on a prospective basis guidance requiring 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 would be presented in the financial statements as a liability and will not be combined with deferred tax assets. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Derivatives, Offsetting Fair Value Amounts	'
	the Company offsets the fair value of the amounts owed to or due from the counterparty and classifies the net 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.
