Jeff Bezos weighing possible acquisition of CNBC cable network: sources
2025-07-25
[NYPOST] Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos has been weighing a possible acquisition of CNBC, The Post has learned.

The 61-year-old e-commerce magnate has signaled interest to business associates in buying the cable network — home to ''Squawk Box'' and ''Mad Money with Jim Cramer'' — after it is spun off by NBCUniversal parent Comcast later this year, according to a person familiar with Bezos' thinking.

CNBC would ''align well with his interests,'' said another source close to Bezos, who noted that the network could serve as a credible ''neutral voice'' in his media portfolio — a major plus following Bezos's headaches as owner of the left-leaning Washington Post.
