Sometimes it's not enough to be head honcho of a cable TV network. Especially when you're across the negotiating table from people old enough to be your father. That's when David Rudolph, Ted Turner's youngest network chief, puts on his glasses.

Sometimes it's true. Sometimes it's not true. Operating in six Southeast states, Turner South is Atlanta-based Turner Broadcasting System's only regional network. So it has been a prove-yourself year both for Rudolph and Turner South, which marked its first birthday this month. Turner South is supposed to be television with a Southern feel, featuring well-worn movies, sitcom reruns, original programming and live sport events including Atlanta Braves games.
