Is Amazon Interested in Buying Time Warner?

Jan 11, 2016  •  Post A Comment

According to respected New York Post business columnist Claire Atkinson and her colleague Josh Kosman, ”Two of the New York media giant’s [Time Warner] largest longtime investors are … running out of patience and would support a sale of all or parts of the company, The Post has learned.”

Later in the piece Kosman and Atkinson write: “There is speculation that Amazon, which is ramping up its Prime video streaming service, would be interested in buying the content-rich Time Warner.”

The story also notes: “The Post reported last week that former [Carl] Icahn protégé Keith Meister, the head of Corvex Capital Management, is building an activist position in Time Warner.”
