Comcast splits, spinning off NBCUniversal and Sky into standalone company
Comcast will spin off NBCUniversal and Sky in a tax‑free separation, giving shareholders shares in both new entities and retaining up to a 19.9% stake in NBCUniversal for a year. The split lets Comcast double‑down on broadband, wireless and tech, while NBCUniversal becomes a pure‑play media powerhouse with studios, networks and the Sky platform.
