Comcast is splitting in two
Comcast is splitting into two separate publicly traded companies to isolate its broadband and wireless business from its media and entertainment assets. The new NBCUniversal entity will house networks like NBC, Sky, and Peacock, while the core Comcast brand will focus on connectivity.
Why it matters

Comcast has announced plans to separate itself into two publicly traded companies, spinning off its NBCUniversal and Sky broadcasting arms. The shake up aims to protect the media conglomerate’s profitable broadband and wireless brand, which will retain the “Comcast” company name, as its media and entertainment business — now collectively named “NBCUniversal” — faces increasing pressure from industry consolidation and streaming rivals.
