NBC owners to spin off Golf Channel. What’s next for the network?
Comcast, the parent company of NBCUniversal, has announced plans to spin off Golf Channel as part of a broader restructuring of its media operations. The move has raised questions about the future of Golf Channel and its staff.
NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell hinted that changes are coming to the golf landscape, but did not provide specific details.
“We are committed to providing our viewers with the best possible golf coverage,” said Shell in a statement, “and we are always looking for ways to improve our product.”
Golf Channel employees are concerned about their jobs, and there is speculation that the channel could be sold or merged with another network.
