Comcast to Spin Off NBCUniversal and Sky, Separating Cable and Media Businesses
Comcast plans to split into two publicly traded companies by spinning off its NBCUniversal and Sky media assets, separating its broadband and wireless services from its media and entertainment businesses. The move aims to address changing consumer habits and increased streaming competition. The split, expected within a year, will leave shareholders owning stakes in both companies. Comcast will retain up to a 19.9% stake in NBCUniversal for up to a year, intending to monetize it over time.
