What channels are Comcast getting rid of?

Published in Channel Spin-Off 1 min read

Comcast is planning to spin off a substantial portion of its NBCUniversal cable channels, which effectively means they are divesting ownership or control of these channels.

Understanding Comcast's Cable Channel Spin-Off

This strategic move involves separating a significant number of their existing cable network assets into a new entity. This restructuring impacts several well-known channels, while others will remain under Comcast's direct control.

Channels Included in the Spin-Off

The planned spin-off encompasses a core group of cable channels, along with others not specifically named. These channels will no longer be directly owned by Comcast post-spin-off.

  • MSNBC
  • CNBC
  • E!
  • Oxygen
  • And other undisclosed cable channels.

Channels Remaining with Comcast

It's important to note that not all NBCUniversal properties are part of this spin-off. Several key networks and services will continue to be owned and operated by Comcast.

Here's a clear breakdown:

Channels Being Spun Off (Divested) Channels Remaining with Comcast
MSNBC NBC
CNBC Bravo
E! Peacock (streaming service)
Oxygen
And other undisclosed cable channels

This strategic shift allows Comcast to focus on its remaining core media properties and streaming services, while the spun-off channels will operate under new or restructured ownership.
