Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION	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 television, feature film, home video and videogame production and distribution. Basis of Presentation Interim Financial Statements The consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, they contain all 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, 2014 (the “ 2014 Form 10-K”). Basis of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include all 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 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 or impairment of capitalized film and programming costs and participations and residuals, home video and videogames product 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 should consolidate certain entities. Venezuela Currency Certain of the Company’s divisions conduct business with third parties located in Venezuela and, as a result, the Company holds net monetary assets denominated in Venezuelan Bolivares Fuertes (“VEF”) that primarily consist of cash and accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2014 , the Company used the SICAD 2 exchange rate to remeasure its VEF-denominated monetary assets. Because of Venezuelan government-imposed restrictions on the exchange of VEF into foreign currency in Venezuela, the Company has not been able to convert VEF earned in Venezuela into U.S. Dollars through the Venezuelan government’s foreign currency exchanges. On February 10, 2015, Venezuelan government officials announced changes to Venezuela’s foreign currency exchange system. Those changes included the elimination of the SICAD 2 exchange due to the merger of the SICAD 1 and SICAD 2 exchanges into a single SICAD exchange as well as the creation of the Simadi exchange, which is a new free market foreign currency exchange. On their initial date of activity, the exchange rates published by the Central Bank of Venezuela were 12 VEF to each U.S. Dollar for the SICAD exchange and 170 VEF to each U.S. Dollar for the Simadi exchange. Given the restrictions associated with the official government rate and the SICAD exchange, starting on February 10, 2015, the Company began to use the Simadi exchange rate to remeasure its VEF-denominated transactions and balances and recognized a pretax foreign exchange loss of $22 million in the Consolidated Statement of Operations during the quarter ended March 31, 2015. Approximately $15 million of such loss related to cash balances. Accounting Guidance Adopted in 2015 Debt Issuance Costs During the third quarter of 2015, the Company early adopted guidance on a retrospective basis that requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying amount of such debt. The adoption of the guidance resulted in decreases to long-term debt and other noncurrent assets as of December 31, 2014 of $113 million . Fair Value Measurement During the second quarter of 2015, the Company early adopted guidance that eliminated the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which net asset value per share was used as a practical expedient to measure fair value. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Discontinued Operations In April 2014, guidance was issued that changes the requirements for reporting 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 had 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 became effective on a prospective basis for the Company on January 1, 2015 and 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 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. Based on the current guidance, the new framework will become effective on either a full or modified retrospective basis for the Company on January 1, 2018. The Company is evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. Consolidation In February 2015, guidance was issued that changes how companies evaluate entities for consolidation. The changes primarily relate to (i) the identification of variable interests related to fees paid to decision makers or service providers, (ii) how companies determine whether limited partnerships or similar entities are variable interest entities, (iii) how related parties and de facto agents are considered in the primary beneficiary determination, and (iv) the elimination of the presumption that a general partner controls a limited partnership. The guidance will become effective for the Company on January 1, 2016 on either a modified retrospective or full retrospective basis and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement In April 2015, guidance was issued that clarifies how fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement are accounted for. The guidance provides that if a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the arrangement should be accounted for in a manner consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. The guidance also provides that if a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the arrangement should be accounted for as a service contract. This guidance will become effective for the Company on January 1, 2016, and the Company is currently evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

BUSINESS DISPOSITIONS AND ACQUISITIONS	BUSINESS DISPOSITIONS AND ACQUISITIONS iStreamPlanet In August 2015, Turner acquired a majority ownership interest in iStreamPlanet Co., LLC (“iStreamPlanet”), a provider of streaming and cloud-based video and technology services, for $149 million , net of cash acquired. As a result of Turner’s acquisition of the additional interests in iStreamPlanet, Turner recorded a $3 million gain on a previously held investment accounted for under the cost method and began consolidating iStreamPlanet in the third quarter of 2015. In connection with the acquisition, $29 million of Redeemable noncontrolling interest was recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Summary of Discontinued Operations Discontinued operations, net of tax, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was income of $37 million ( $0.04 of diluted net income per common share), primarily related to the final resolution of a tax indemnification obligation associated with the disposition of Warner Music Group in 2004. During 2014, the Company completed the legal and structural separation of Time Inc. With the completion of the separation, the Company disposed of its Time Inc. segment in its entirety and ceased to consolidate Time Inc.’s financial position and results of operations in its consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the Company has presented the financial position and results of operations of its former Time Inc. segment as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. Financial data for discontinued operations is as follows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 (millions, except per share amounts): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 9/30/14 9/30/14 Total revenues $ — $ 1,415 Pretax income (loss) 3 (94 ) Income tax benefit (provision) (2 ) 29 Net income (loss) $ 1 $ (65 ) Net income (loss) attributable to Time Warner Inc. shareholders $ 1 $ (65 ) Per share information attributable to Time Warner Inc. common shareholders: Basic net income (loss) per common share $ — $ (0.08 ) Average common shares outstanding — basic 850.9 872.2 Diluted net income (loss) per common share $ — $ (0.07 ) Average common shares outstanding — diluted 870.2 891.6

Investments [Abstract]
INVESTMENTS	INVESTMENTS Investment in Hudson Yards Development Project During the first quarter of 2015, the Company finalized agreements relating to the construction and development of office and studio space in the Hudson Yards development on the west side of Manhattan in order to move its Corporate headquarters and New York City-based employees to the new space. The Company will fund its proportionate share of the costs for the construction and development through a limited liability corporation (“LLC”) that is controlled by the developer and managed by an affiliate of the developer. As of September 30, 2015 , the Company’s investment in the LLC, which is accounted for under the equity method of accounting, is approximately $186 million and is included in Investments, including available-for-sale securities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Based on current construction cost estimates and space projections, the Company expects to invest an additional $1.9 billion in the Hudson Yards development project through 2019. Central European Media Enterprises Ltd. As of September 30, 2015 , the Company had an approximate 49.4% voting interest in Central European Media Enterprises Ltd.’s (“CME”) common stock and an approximate 75.6% economic interest in CME on a diluted basis. As of September 30, 2015 , 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 Company accounts for its investment in CME’s Class A common stock and Series A convertible preferred stock under the equity method of accounting. As of September 30, 2015 , the Company owned all of the outstanding shares of CME’s Series B convertible redeemable preferred shares, which are non-voting and may be converted into 97.7 million shares of CME’s Class A common stock at the Company’s option at any time after June 25, 2016. The Company accounts for its investment in CME’s Series B convertible redeemable preferred shares under the cost method of accounting. As of September 30, 2015 , the Company owned 3.4 million of CME’s 15% senior secured notes due 2017 (the “Senior Secured Notes”), each consisting of a $100 principal amount plus accrued interest. The Senior Secured Notes are accounted for at their amortized cost and classified as held-to-maturity in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of September 30, 2015 , the Company held 101 million warrants each to purchase one share of CME Class A common stock. The warrants issued to Time Warner have a four -year term that expires in May 2018 and an exercise price of $1.00 per share, do not contain any voting rights and are not exercisable until May 2016. 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. The warrants are carried at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The initial fair value of the warrants was recognized as a discount to the Senior Secured Notes and the term loan provided by the Company to CME (as described below) and a deferred gain related to the revolving credit facility provided by the Company to CME (as described below). Time Warner has also provided CME a $115 million revolving credit facility and a $30 million term loan that both mature on December 1, 2017. CME can pay accrued interest on the amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility and term loan either in cash or by adding the amount of accrued interest to the outstanding principal amount of the term loan or revolving credit facility, as applicable. As of September 30, 2015 , there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility and the carrying value of amounts outstanding under the term loan was $22 million and is classified as other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. On November 14, 2014, Time Warner and CME entered into an agreement pursuant to which Time Warner agreed to assist CME in refinancing $261 million aggregate principal amount of its Senior Convertible Notes due 2015 (the “2015 Notes”) and €240 million aggregate principal amount of its Senior Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Notes”). In connection with this agreement, CME entered into a €251 million senior unsecured term loan that matures on November 1, 2017 (the “2017 Term Loan”) with third-party financial institutions on the same day. Time Warner has guaranteed CME’s obligations under the 2017 Term Loan for a fee equal to 8.5% less the interest rate on the 2017 Term Loan, to be paid to Time Warner semi-annually in cash or in kind at CME’s option. CME used the proceeds of the 2017 Term Loan to redeem the 2017 Notes. CME also entered into unsecured interest rate hedge arrangements to protect against changes in the applicable interest rate on the 2017 Term Loan during its term. Time Warner has also guaranteed CME’s obligations under the hedge arrangements. On September 30, 2015, CME entered into a credit agreement (the “2015 Credit Agreement”) with third-party financial institutions for a €235 million senior unsecured term loan that will be funded in November 2015 and matures on November 1, 2019. Time Warner has guaranteed CME’s obligations under the 2015 Credit Agreement for a fee equal to 8.5% less the interest rate on the term loan, to be paid to Time Warner semi-annually in cash or in kind at CME’s option. CME will use the proceeds of the term loan to repay the $261 million aggregate principal amount of the 2015 Notes at maturity on November 15, 2015. As consideration for assisting CME in refinancing the 2015 Notes, Time Warner earned a commitment fee of $9 million , which will accrue interest at a rate of 8.5% . As of September 30, 2015, there were no amounts outstanding under the 2015 Credit Agreement. CME may enter into unsecured hedge arrangements to protect against changes in the interest rate on the term loan during its term. If so, Time Warner will guarantee CME’s obligations under such hedge arrangements.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	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).

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , assets and liabilities valued using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) primarily related to warrants to purchase shares of Class A common stock of CME valued at $132 million and $242 million , respectively. 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 September 30, 2015 are an expected term of 1.78 years and an expected volatility of approximately 71% . The other Level 3 assets and liabilities consisted of assets 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, 2015 and 2014 on such assets and liabilities that were included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2015 and 2014 (millions): September 30, 2015 September 30, 2014 Balance as of the beginning of the period $ 241 $ 1 Total losses, net: Included in operating income (1 ) — Included in other loss, net (112 ) (58 ) Included in other comprehensive loss — — Purchases — 213 Settlements (2 ) (19 ) Issuances — 16 Transfers in and/or out of Level 3 — — Balance as of the end of the period $ 126 $ 153 Net loss for the period included in net income related to assets and liabilities still held as of the end of the period $ (113 ) $ (57 ) 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, 2015 , the fair value of Time Warner’s debt exceeded its carrying value by approximately $3.042 billion and, based on interest rates prevailing at December 31, 2014 , the fair value of Time Warner’s debt exceeded its carrying value by approximately $4.251 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. Information as of September 30, 2015 about the Company’s investments in CME that are not required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows (millions): Carrying Value Fair Value Fair Value Hierarchy Class A common stock (a) $ — $ 157 Level 1 Series B convertible redeemable preferred shares $ — $ 211 Level 2 Senior secured notes $ 247 $ 422 Level 2 _________________________ (a) Includes one share of Series A convertible preferred stock. The fair values of the Company’s investments in CME’s Class A common stock (including Series A convertible preferred stock) and Series B convertible redeemable preferred shares are primarily determined by reference to the September 30, 2015 closing price of CME’s common stock. The fair value of the Company’s investment in CME’s Senior Secured Notes is primarily determined by reference to observable sales transactions. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company performed an impairment review of certain intangible assets at an international subsidiary of Turner. As a result, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded a noncash impairment of $1 million to completely write off the value of these assets. During the nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded noncash impairments of $5 million to write down the value of these assets to $7 million . 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. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 , the Company also performed fair value measurements related to certain theatrical films and television programs. 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 films and television programs that management plans to abandon is zero . Because 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 writedown Carrying value after writedown Fair value measurements made during the three months ended September 30,: 2015 $ 15 $ — 2014 $ 46 $ — Fair value measurements made during the nine months ended September 30,: 2015 $ 303 $ 210 2014 $ 234 $ 140

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES	DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES Time Warner uses derivative instruments, primarily 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). 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. Net gains and losses from hedging activities recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations were as follows (millions): Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Gains (losses) recognized in: Costs of revenues $ 56 $ 8 $ 107 $ (3 ) Selling, general and administrative 6 — 15 3 Other loss, net (10 ) (2 ) (20 ) (11 ) Included in Other loss, net is the impact of hedge ineffectiveness and forward points and option premiums, which are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Such amounts were not material. 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 values of the amounts owed to or due from the same 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 September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (millions): September 30, 2015 (a) December 31, Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 93 $ 61 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (5 ) (3 ) ________________________ (a) Includes $201 million ( $182 million of qualifying hedges and $19 million of economic hedges) and $113 million ( $103 million of qualifying hedges and $10 million of economic hedges) of foreign exchange derivative contracts in asset and liability positions, respectively. (b) Includes $139 million ( $92 million of qualifying hedges and $47 million of economic hedges) and $81 million ( $65 million of qualifying hedges and $16 million of economic hedges) of foreign exchange derivative contracts in asset and liability positions, respectively. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , $33 million and $20 million , respectively, 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 September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are net losses of $11 million and $5 million , respectively, related to hedges of cash flows associated with films that are not expected to be released within the next twelve months. At September 30, 2015, the carrying amount of the Company’s €700 million aggregate principal amount of debt is designated as a hedge of the variability in the Company’s Euro-denominated net investments. The gain or loss on the debt that is designated as, and is effective as, an economic hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation is recorded as a currency translation adjustment within Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, such amounts totaled $21 million of losses. See Note 7, “Long-Term Debt and Other Financing Arrangements,” for more information.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
SEGMENT INFORMATION	SEGMENT INFORMATION 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 television, feature film, home video and videogame production and distribution. Time Warner’s reportable segments have been determined in accordance with its internal management structure and the financial information that is evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision maker. In the ordinary course of business, Time Warner’s reportable segments enter into transactions with one another. The most common types of intersegment transactions include the Warner Bros. segment generating revenues by licensing television and theatrical programming to the Turner and Home Box Office segments. While intersegment transactions are treated like third-party transactions to determine segment performance, the revenues (and corresponding expenses or assets recognized by the segment that is the counterparty to the transaction) are eliminated in consolidation and, therefore, do not affect consolidated results. Information as to the Revenues, intersegment revenues, Operating Income (Loss) and Assets of Time Warner’s reportable segments is set forth below (millions): Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Revenues Turner $ 2,398 $ 2,446 $ 7,935 $ 7,789 Home Box Office 1,367 1,304 4,203 4,060 Warner Bros. 3,190 2,775 9,687 8,711 Intersegment eliminations (391 ) (282 ) (786 ) (726 ) Total revenues $ 6,564 $ 6,243 $ 21,039 $ 19,834 Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Intersegment Revenues Turner $ 23 $ 19 $ 81 $ 76 Home Box Office 4 8 22 27 Warner Bros. 364 255 683 623 Total intersegment revenues $ 391 $ 282 $ 786 $ 726 Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Operating Income (Loss) Turner $ 1,072 $ 337 $ 3,310 $ 2,166 Home Box Office 519 380 1,485 1,392 Warner Bros. 385 237 1,050 840 Corporate (64 ) (119 ) (257 ) 53 Intersegment eliminations (78 ) 136 (109 ) 135 Total operating income $ 1,834 $ 971 $ 5,479 $ 4,586 September 30, 2015 December 31, Assets Turner $ 25,766 $ 25,271 Home Box Office 14,226 13,869 Warner Bros. 20,510 20,559 Corporate 2,172 3,447 Total assets $ 62,674 $ 63,146

The aggregate undiscounted estimated future cash flow requirements covered by the Six Flags Guarantee over the remaining term (through 2028) are $914 million (for a net present value of $426 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 September 30, 2015 . 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 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”) related to CNN America’s December 2003 and January 2004 terminations of its contractual relationships with Team Video, under which Team Video had provided electronic news gathering 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. In the complaint, the NLRB sought, among other things, the reinstatement of certain union members and monetary damages. On November 19, 2008, the presiding NLRB Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) issued a non-binding recommended decision and order finding CNN America liable. On September 15, 2014, a three-member panel of the NLRB affirmed the ALJ’s decision and adopted the ALJ’s order with certain modifications. On November 12, 2014, both CNN America and the NLRB General Counsel filed motions with the NLRB for reconsideration of the panel’s decision. On March 20, 2015, the NLRB granted the NLRB General Counsel’s motion for reconsideration to correct certain inadvertent errors in the panel’s decision, and it denied CNN America’s motion for reconsideration. On July 9, 2015, CNN America filed a notice of appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit regarding the panel’s decision and the denial of CNN America’s motion for reconsideration. 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. In December 2014, the Company reached a preliminary agreement with the IRS to resolve the issues raised in the notice of deficiency. Final resolution of these issues is subject to agreement regarding certain necessary computations and the preparation and execution of definitive documentation. 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, the Company has estimated a range of possible loss. The Company believes the estimate of the aggregate range of possible loss for such matters in excess of accrued liabilities is between $0 and $130 million at September 30, 2015 . 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, 2015 , the Company recorded net decreases to income tax reserves of approximately $24 million , of which approximately $8 million increased the Company’s effective tax rate. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , the Company recorded net increases to interest reserves related to the income tax reserves of approximately $41 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 $90 million , most of which would decrease the Company’s effective tax rate.

For the Company’s collaborative arrangements entered into with third parties to jointly finance and distribute theatrical productions, net participation costs of $74 million and $69 million were recorded in Costs of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively, and $ 322 million and $ 374 million were recorded in Costs of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , 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]
Condensed Financial Information of Parent Company Only Disclosure [Text Block]	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 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 (provision) benefit 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.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Consolidation	Basis of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include all 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	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 or impairment of capitalized film and programming costs and participations and residuals, home video and videogames product 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 should consolidate certain entities.
New Accounting Guidance	Accounting Guidance Adopted in 2015 Debt Issuance Costs During the third quarter of 2015, the Company early adopted guidance on a retrospective basis that requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying amount of such debt. The adoption of the guidance resulted in decreases to long-term debt and other noncurrent assets as of December 31, 2014 of $113 million . Fair Value Measurement During the second quarter of 2015, the Company early adopted guidance that eliminated the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which net asset value per share was used as a practical expedient to measure fair value. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Discontinued Operations In April 2014, guidance was issued that changes the requirements for reporting 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 had 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 became effective on a prospective basis for the Company on January 1, 2015 and 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 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. Based on the current guidance, the new framework will become effective on either a full or modified retrospective basis for the Company on January 1, 2018. The Company is evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. Consolidation In February 2015, guidance was issued that changes how companies evaluate entities for consolidation. The changes primarily relate to (i) the identification of variable interests related to fees paid to decision makers or service providers, (ii) how companies determine whether limited partnerships or similar entities are variable interest entities, (iii) how related parties and de facto agents are considered in the primary beneficiary determination, and (iv) the elimination of the presumption that a general partner controls a limited partnership. The guidance will become effective for the Company on January 1, 2016 on either a modified retrospective or full retrospective basis and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement In April 2015, guidance was issued that clarifies how fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement are accounted for. The guidance provides that if a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the arrangement should be accounted for in a manner consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. The guidance also provides that if a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the arrangement should be accounted for as a service contract. This guidance will become effective for the Company on January 1, 2016, and the Company is currently evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
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 films and television programs that management plans to abandon is zero . Because the primary determination of fair value is determined using a DCF model, the resulting fair value is considered a Level 3 measurement.
Derivatives, Offsetting Fair Value Amounts	For such foreign exchange contracts, the Company offsets the fair values of the amounts owed to or due from the same 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.
