Comcast to Split Into Two Public Companies, Spinning Off NBCUniversal and Sky

Comcast announced a tax-free spin-off that will separate NBCUniversal and Sky from its core broadband, wireless and technology business, creating two independent public companies. The move follows January 2026's carve-out of Versant -- the cable networks including CNBC and MS NOW -- and completes a dramatic dismantling of the empire Brian Roberts spent decades assembling. The split is expected to close in about a year.
