YouTube made a “big mistake” by leaving CNN, TNT and TBS out of its new $35-a-month online TV service, the head of those networks said Wednesday.

“It’s hard to imagine an attractive package without Turner,” John Martin, chief executive officer of the Time Warner Inc. cable division, said in an interview, citing the company’s entertainment, sports, news and children’s programming.
