A Time Warner buyout would likely lead to a future CNN/TWC partnership. "yes"
That's probably what would happen. whenever I watch TWC now, I feel like I am watching CNN, because I feel like the graphics are so similar. Also, last night, Alexandra Steele mentioned a happening weather event as breaking news. I've never heard them say breaking news, on TWC, before, until last night.
