Comcast Splits Off NBCUniversal | Vancouver News

Comcast is splitting off its entertainment empire into a standalone company, separating NBC, Telemundo, Universal Pictures, Bravo, and Peacock — along with its British TV arm Sky — from its core cable and internet business. This follows last year’s spinoff of CNBC and the Golf Channel, part of a broader strategy to let each unit operate independently in a rapidly shifting media world. While the media industry sees massive consolidation — like the Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger — Comcast’s move could make NBCUniversal a prime acquisition target or even a merger candidate itself. The spinoff, slated for completion next year, will leave Comcast holding a 19% stake. The move comes amid declining cable viewership and struggles to turn a profit on Peacock, putting pressure on Comcast’s stock as audiences increasingly stream instead of pay for cable.
