Comcast says David Novak will chair SpinCo board after planned spin-off

Neutral Impact 3 of 5 leadership Written later

Comcast said director David Novak will become non-executive Chairman of SpinCo, the cable channels and digital assets Comcast plans to spin off, when the spin-off is completed. Novak will then leave Comcast's board, and the spin-off is expected by the end of 2025. The filing does not give financial results or changes to Comcast's own outlook.

Key points

  • Novak becomes non-executive Chairman of SpinCo upon completion of the spin-off, expected by the end of 2025.
  • Novak leaves Comcast's Board of Directors at that time; he has served on it since December 2016.
  • SpinCo's assets include USA Network, CNBC, MSNBC, E! and Fandango, which the press release says generate about $7 billion in annual revenue.
