*** Turner to stop airing WCWATLANTA (AP) - Turner Broadcasting System Inc. has decided to stop airing World Championship Wrestling, a mainstay of the network's lineup since its fledgling days in the 1970s, a company spokesman said on Monday. As a consequence, a deal to sell the troubled wrestling organization fell through. Fusient Media Ventures, a New York media investment firm, had announced its purchase of the company in January. The firm says talks have resumed on a new deal now that the WCW has no broadcast outlet. The decision means that the WCW will cease after a March 26 event in Panama City Beach, Fla., pending its sale to a new owner. Turner spokesman Jim Weiss said Monday that Turner expects the company - which lost an estimated $80 million last year - will be sold quickly. The decision to scrap wrestling was one of the first major programming decisions made by new chief executive Jamie Kellner.
