Comcast NBCniversal has announced its intent to create a new publicly traded company ('Versant') comprised of most of NBCUniversal's cable television networks, including USA Network, CNBC, MSNBC, Oxygen, E!, SYFY and Golf Channel along with complementary digital assets Fandango, Rotten Tomatoes, Golf Now, Golf Pass, and Sports Engine. The well-capitalized company will have significant scale as a pure-play set of assets anchored by leading news, sports and entertainment content.

The spin-off is expected to be completed during 2025.
