NBC News to expand reach in 2.0

Cory Bergman October 19th, 2006

A key paragraph in TV Week’s story on NBC 2.0 this morning:

The NBC News unit will absorb a number of operations, including business-news cable channel CNBC, which has not previously reported to news. NBC News will also spread its umbrella over MSNBC.com employees (most of whom are housed on Microsoft’s Redmond, Washington, campus) and the news operations of NBC-owned TV stations, along with the Telemundo network and local news efforts.

UPDATE: An NBC spokesperson tells TVNewser that this is not true. “NBC News will NOT absorb CNBC…. None of the reporting structures at MSNBC.com, the owned stations, Telemundo or local news will change as a result of TV 2.0.”
