Comcast confirmed it's spinning off nearly all of its cable properties, which include CNBC and MSNBC, raising questions about the future of all-news channels.
As the Wall Street Journal first reported, the communications giant confirmed yesterday it’s spinning off almost all its cable properties, including USA, E!, Oxygen, Syfy and Golf Channel, which generated $7 billion in revenue in the latest 12-month period. Howard Kurtz is the host of FOX News Channel's MediaBuzz (Sundays 11 a.m.-12 p.m. ET). Based in Washington, D.C., he joined the network in July 2013 and regularly appears on Special Report with Bret Baier and other programs.
Staying with the mother ship are the NBC television network, the Peacock streaming service and Bravo, plus sports, movies and theme parks.
