TV Guide founder dies at 94

摘要

Walter H. Annenberg, head of a vast communications empire that once included TV Guide, died of pneumonia on Oct. 1 at his home in Wyn-newood, Pa. He was 94. Recently listed in Forbes magazine as the 39th-wealthiest person in the country, with a net worth of $4 billion, Annenberg, who was ambassador to Great Britain in the Nixon Administration, was often generous with the vast wealth he accumulated as head of Triangle Publications Inc., which at one point comprised Seventeen magazine, several newspapers, and six television and radio stations in New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and California (including WFIL(AM) and -FM Philadelphia).
