Yahoo! Inc. (NasdaqGS:YHOO) may have engaged in talks to acquire Scripps Networks Interactive, Inc. (NYSE:SNI) in 2014, according to an unconfirmed report. Business Insider claims that Yahoo considered an acquisition of Scripps.

Further the site claims that Yahoo may have actually begun M&A discussions with Scripps with two different deals; a full acquisition of Scripps, or a separate deal to acquire the Food Network only. Business Insider also quotes a source who claims Yahoo may have also approached Time Warner Inc. (NYSE:TWX) about acquiring Cable News Network, Inc., but suggests that the talks for either a Scripps or CNN buy are no longer active.
