About Versant Media Group

Versant helps people stay informed through news and sports television networks. It makes it easy for golfers to book tee times at courses worldwide. The company also helps movie fans find showtimes and read film reviews.

What Versant Offers

  • News Networks: National and international journalism through brands like MS NOW and CNBC.
  • Sports and Entertainment: Live sporting events and genre-specific shows on USA Network, SYFY, and Oxygen True Crime.
  • Digital Platforms: Online marketplaces including GolfNow for tee times and Fandango for movie tickets.
  • Youth Sports Tools: Software and payment processing for youth leagues through the SportsEngine platform.

Recent Growth and Strategic Moves

  • Acquired Indy Cinema in December 2025 to add technology for ticketing and analytics to its movie business.
  • Purchased Free TV Networks in January 2026 to expand into free over-the-air and streaming channels.
  • Rebranded its flagship news network from MSNBC to MS NOW in November 2025.
  • Launched USA Sports in November 2025 to unite its sports programming under one division.

What Makes Versant Stand Out

The company maintains long-term rights for major sports like the PGA Tour and NASCAR through the early 2030s. Its digital platforms connect directly with consumers to create transaction fees that supplement traditional television advertising revenue.

Financial Performance

  • Revenue reached $1.6 billion in Q4 2025.
  • Operating income was $301 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025.
  • Free cash flow hit $430 million in Q4 2025.
  • Net income for the final quarter of 2025 was $181 million.

Bottom Line

Versant has transitioned from a subsidiary of Comcast to an independent media entity with a focus on live news and sports. Its strategy blends traditional television distribution with digital transactional services to reach audiences across multiple platforms.
