While media pioneer John Malone may not be a household name, he’s
had a hand in shaping how all of us watch TV. Malone built
Denver-based Tele-Communications Inc. into the largest cable
company in the country, and then carved out Liberty Media from TCI.
Liberty, along with various spinoff companies, have owned
controlling stakes in companies like Discovery, SiriusXM, the
Atlanta Braves, and Formula 1. Now, at 84, Malone has a new book
out, “Born to Be Wired,” about his career and the fellow media
titans he met along the way. Kara and Malone talk about
how he transformed from the Ivy League-educated engineer to one of
the “cable cowboys” who helped bring cable television into the
homes of millions of Americans, how he squares his libertarian
politics with President Donald Trump’s policies and the MAGA
Republican Party, and why he thinks Big Tech needs major
regulation. He also expands on some of his recent critiques of CNN
and supposed left-wing bias in the media. Questions?
