Comcast recently announced plans to split its operations into two freely traded companies. The broadcast unit will merge NBCUniversal and Sky into a independent entity. The technical division will keep the remaining broadband and cable assets. Current Comcast investors will receive shares in both new firms after the separation. Comcast predicts each company to become a leader in its sector. The choice follows a thorough evaluation of the firm’s portfolio. The plan was announced in mid‑2026.
