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.

A CNN/TWC partnership is probably what will happen.

No updates that I know of. Last I heard it was between NBC and TW.
