Software giant Microsoft has parted company with NBC News
Comcast, the company that owns NBC News, has acquired full control of the MSNBC.com website.
The dissolution of the 16-year-old joint venture was announced late Sunday. The financial details of the breakup were not disclosed.
Microsoft is set to launch its own news operation later this year on its Web portal, MSN.com.
Anyone opening up the MSNBC.com website is now automatically redirected to NBCNews.com. Eventually MSNBC.com will become the website for the cable TV channel MSNBC.
