US media giant Time Warner says it plans to spin off its AOL internet division as a separate company by the end of 2009. Benjamin Cohen reports.

It was a massive merger between the two media companies that critics say failed to live up to its promise.

Once completed, the deal will once again make AOL an independent company - but shareholders will have lost hundreds of billlions of dollars.
