According to glavcom.ua: Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon and one of the richest people in the world, is interested in acquiring the popular cable network CNBC. This network is known for its shows Squawk Box and Mad Money with Jim Cramer. According to the New York Post, Bezos has discussed the possibility of acquiring CNBC with his partners. The cable network is expected to become part of the new company Versant, which will manage Comcast's cable assets, such as MSNBC, USA Network, and E!.

Bezos is not currently in direct negotiations with Comcast's management due to tax restrictions. Versant is expected to focus on developing CNBC rather than selling it, as it targets an audience among investors, businesses, and politicians.

This news reflects Jeff Bezos's rapid interest in the telecommunications business and the potential for changes in the media landscape. Stay tuned to see how the situation unfolds!
