NBCUniversal will include the group’s large theme parks operation and its Sky business in Europe.
Comcast Corp. plans to spin off NBCUniversal and Sky, unwinding a strategy that began more than a decade ago after struggling to demonstrate that a cable and media conglomerate would benefit shareholders. Comcast said it will separate into two publicly traded companies through a tax-free spinoff of NBCUniversal and Sky. NBCUniversal will include the group’s large theme parks operation and its Sky business in Europe.
Current shareholders would receive shares in both companies under the planned split, Comcast said Monday. Comcast is planning to split itself into two publicly traded companies, one focused on media that would include NBCUniversal and Sky and the other focused on broadband and wireless services.
