CBS, CNN resume their discussions on possible pooling of news operations

Article Abstract:

CBS Corp. and the Cable News Network (CNN) are studying the possibility of combining some of their news-gathering operations. Talks between the two companies were restarted in August 1998. They originally began in 1997. The negotiations are said to be in a preliminary stage and are intended to find ways in which CBS and CNN can share their costs. Both firms have also denied rumours of a possible CBS-CNN merger.
