Yahoo! Partners with CNBC to Create Original Content: Hot Trends

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Popular searches on the Internet include Yahoo! (YHOO) as the search engine has teamed up with CNBC to create original content to be featured on the Yahoo Finance page.

The partnership will create original financial news stories and video. A breaking news ticker and new material on stocks will be featured immediately. The companies will determine what types of content they'll produce based on search data and interests of advertisers. They will pay their own reporters and staff but share revenue.

Yahoo! already has a separate agreement with ABC News. CNBC is owned by NBCUniversal and airs shows including "Mad Money with Jim Cramer" and "Squawk on the Street."
