Microsoft Corp. and General Electric Co.’s NBC division announced plans to merge MSN MoneyCentral and CNBC.com into a single personal-finance and news site.

Under the multiyear agreement, the new site will be dubbed CNBC MoneyCentral and combine the personal-finance offerings from MSN with content from the CNBC television network.

The two companies have been partners in the MSNBC Internet and television venture since 1995.

“We’ve had a great relationship with the NBC family for many years now, and the opportunity to bring together the best of what we each can bring to the Web in the finance category is clearly a win-win situation,” said Rick Belluzzo, president and chief operating officer of Microsoft, in a prepared statement.
