The wide-ranging pact means that, effective today, CNBC becomes the premier content provider for Yahoo Finance, and the two will collaborate
on original video content that will roll out in the fall on both Yahoo and CNBC.com. Yahoo Finance’s journalists also will contribute to CNBC’s daily programming, though the operations will maintain separate editorial control. The deal brings together a combined audience of more than 40 million monthly online visitors and the 100 million households that get CNBC, the companies say. “Partnering with CNBC will allow Yahoo! Finance to expand its offerings instantly and enhance its position as the most viewed and utilized finance site in the world,” said Yahoo interim CEO Ross Levinsohn in a release announcing the partnership. “Together, we will deliver the most engaging, insightful and relevant premium and personalized real time experiences for viewers across screens.”


This seems great, but I wonder how it will effect the unofficial relationship that MSNBC seems to have with AOL/Huffington Post or is Comcast/NBCUniversal getting the best of both worlds? I still miss old Mark Handy… This will be interesting to watch, but I am skeptical of any real impact or change…
Yahoo has teamed up with a right wing liberal news company. I’m done with Yahoo and their mounting number of advertising flooding my PC with all sorts of crap. Good by Yahoo.
