CBS chief interested in acquiring CNN
July 18, 2014
CBS chief Leslie Moonves says he'd be interested in acquiring CNN if a potential Fox-Time Warner deal forces a spinoff of the cable news network.
Moonves says media stock growth recently since the offer was revealed suggests "Wall Street obviously thinks there's going to be more consolidation." And he's ready with extra cash from the recent sale of CBS' outdooor advertising business.
