Yahoo recently talked with Time Warner about the prospect of acquiring AOL, according to an article in Fortune.
"Fortune has learned from multiple sources that Yahoo recently approached Time Warner (parent of Fortune's publisher) about buying America Online--essentially trying to jump-start talks that broke down a year ago," the report says. "A source close to Yahoo disputes that Yahoo approached Time Warner and says that there are no active conversations between the two companies." A Yahoo-AOL merger would be a "face-saver" for Yahoo CEO Terry Semel, who lost out on a deal with AOL last year. For $1 billion, Google got a 5 percent stake in AOL and became its exclusive Internet search provider.
Fortune quotes an unidentified Time Warner spokesman as saying, "Time Warner has a new strategy for AOL and is not contemplating any deals."
