Several sources said negotiations have progressed to the stage where NBCU parent company Comcast was conducting due diligence, the report said. A possible deal would help MSNBC have its own website with its own brand, the story said, quoting one person with knowledge of the talks. The companies were likely to negotiate a deal ensuring MSNBC.com secures real estate on MSN.com, similar to the treatment Fox Sports receives, the report quoted one source as saying. NBC and Microsoft were not available for comment.
