NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Communications giant Comcast is planning to split itself into two: one media-centered business that would include brands like NBCUniversal and Sky and a separate company focused on broadband and wireless services.<\/p>\n

In a Monday announcement, Comcast said the breakup will put both of these operations in a better position to pursue their own priorities and growth. The move arrives as communications companies continue to wrestle with years of cord-cutting, and shifting habits in how consumers now buy subscriptions for anything from their phone plans to streaming budgets more broadly.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe world is changing faster than ever,\u201d Comcast Chairman and co-CEO Brian Roberts said on a Monday call \u2014 adding that it \u201chas become clear\u201d the company\u2019s technology and media businesses each \u201chave compelling opportunities in front of them that are distinct in nature and best pursued with dedicated focus.\u201d<\/p>\n

Upon the spinoff\u2019s completion, both businesses would become their own publicly-traded companies. Comcast said it expects to complete the process in about a year, pending regulatory approvals and a final greenlight from its board.<\/p>\n

That means consumers shouldn\u2019t feel immediate impacts. But a host of major brands currently sit under Comcast\u2019s umbrella \u2014 from internet and wireless provider Xfinity to streaming platform Peacock, NBC News and Universal Studios. And analysts are eyeing what those businesses could look like farther down the road.<\/p>\n

What could be in store for NBCUniversal and Comcast<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the short term, bundles, pricing, and distribution will likely hold,\u201d said Mike Proulx, a vice president and research director at market research firm Forrester. For NBCUniversal \u2014 set to head the media-centered company Comcast is spinning off \u2014 the split in itself carries little effect on its current business, he noted, and is \u201cmore to do with what it becomes longer term.\u201d<\/p>\n

Proulx is bracing for future acquisitions in this space, adding that \u201cComcast is following a playbook we have already seen.\u201d He pointed to Warner Bros. Discovery, which announced its own intention to split just last June \u2014 before becoming a takeover target that erupted into a messy tug-of-war between Netflix and Skydance-owned Paramount. Paramount eventually became victorious, and is now edging closer to closing its $81 billion buyout of Warner\u2019s entire company.<\/p>\n

Comcast executives have appeared to so far dismiss the possibility of heading toward a similar fate. When asked on Monday\u2019s call whether investors should view the separation as a step toward \u201cpotential strategic transactions\u201d for either business, Roberts said: \u201cAbsolutely not.\u201d<\/p>\n

His co-CEO Mike Cavanagh \u2014 who is set to become the chief executive of the NBCUniversal spinoff \u2014 echoed that sentiment. Cavanagh reiterated plans to \u201cbuild and invest for growth\u201d with more freedom as a standalone business.<\/p>\n

Still, analysts like Proulx speculate that even if NBCUniversal doesn\u2019t become a takeover target, \u201cit\u2019ll likely be the company doing the acquiring.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs it stands, traditional TV is dying, and Peacock alone isn\u2019t enough to compete at scale against the biggest streaming services,\u201d Proulx said via email. \u201cOne way or the other, NBCU\u2019s entertainment business will look different within the next couple of years.\u201d<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first spinoff for Comcast<\/p>\n

Like other companies, Comcast in recent years has shifted its business emphasis away from traditional cable toward streaming and other sources of revenue, such as its movie studio, theme parks and home wireless and internet services.<\/p>\n

NBCUniversal includes that theme parks division, Universal film and television studios, NBC and Telemundo networks, Peacock, and Bravo \u2014 and with the spinoff, European media business Sky will also be part of that portfolio led by Cavanagh.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Philadelphia-based Comcast will continue providing internet services to residential and business customers. Comcast\u2019s former Chief Financial Officer Michael Angelakis will become the CEO of that company following its separation.<\/p>\n

Comcast has split off assets before. Monday\u2019s move arrives just months after the company officially completed its separation of Versant Media Group \u2014 which, as first announced in November 2024, is the new home of networks like USA, Oxygen, E!, SYFY and Golf Channel, as well as CNBC and MSNBC (now MS NOW). Movie ticketing platform Fandango and the Rotten Tomatoes movie rating site were also included.<\/p>\n

Once the latest split is complete, Comcast shareholders will own shares in both Comcast and NBCUniversal. Comcast expects to keep a stake of up to 19.9% ownership position in NBCUniversal for up to one year after the spinoff is complete.<\/p>\n

Comcast jumped more than 6% as of midday trading following Monday\u2019s announcement. Shares still are down over 10% since the start of 2026.<\/p>\n
