Disney CEO Bob Iger Says WBD and NBCU Spinning Off Cable Networks ‘Gives Us an Advantage’

Comcast, meanwhile, has announced plans to jettison NBCUniversal‘s cable networks (excluding Bravo) into a new, publicly traded company called Versant by the end of 2024. One of the networks set to become part of Versant, incidentally, is CNBC.

Did they write it this way because they failed to meet the 2024 deadline? Or is this a case of still writing the previous year in your checks?
