In the wake of the news that comedian Byron Allen had purchased The Weather Channel, acquisition news is about to get even weirder. Famed song parodist Weird Al Yankovic is buying CNN for $27 million.

When asked about the peculiar acquisition, Mr. Yankovic quipped, "The news is already a joke as it is. And I want to bide my time before I put out another record. Plus, I was incredibly bored. And what better way to cure boredom than by purchasing a major media conglomerate for no apparent reason?"

The move will be finalized on April 1, 2019.
