Versant Media Group, Inc. is an upcoming American media company that will begin trading on January 5, 2026. It consists of most of the U.S. cable networks previously owned by NBCUniversal—including USA Network, MS NOW, CNBC, Golf Channel, E!, Syfy, and Oxygen—and related digital properties such as Fandango Media. The company is being established to allow NBCUniversal to focus on its core businesses, while allowing the divested properties to make their own further investments as a "house of brands". NBCUniversal will continue to provide advertising sales services for a period after the spin-off, and will sublicense some of its sports properties to Versant for continuity. Versant is otherwise establishing its own bespoke sports division under the USA Sports branding, while CNBC and MSNBC began to formally separate themselves from NBC News in October 2025, the effective beginning of the company's operations. Versant's headquarters are located at 229 West 43rd Street in Midtown Manhattan, with technical operations and master control for its networks housed at CNBC's headquarters in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey.
