Turner has a sizable stable of Web-based properties—from CartoonNetworkonline.com to SI.com to CNN.com, which averaged 73 million unique monthly visitors last year—and Holt oversees them all.

What’s your favorite digital toy and why? My Nook e-Reader totally rocks. I love to read, and this device allows me to carry a library in my handbag, buy books anytime, anywhere, and streams video seamlessly.
What digital strategy mistake must cable avoid at all costs? Cable can’t fight advancing technology and changing consumer preferences – we must embrace it. There’s never been a better time to innovate.
Would you rather own a flying car or a jetpack—and why? A flying car. It’s comfortable, climate controlled and safe from birds, and I could access my digital gadgets. I’d love to groove to my tunes in a flying car.
