Broadband Reports says rumors are circulating that Microsoft could buy AOL. The New York Post claims Time Warner execs have met privately with Microsoft about a possible purchase of the black-sheep of the Time Warner family.

A deal might combine AOL’s 24 million subscribers with the 9 million at Microsoft’s MSN.
