Versant Media Group raised its full-year guidance, boosted by momentum in its digital brands like Fandango and GolfNow, as well as what executives referred to as "strength" in its overall business model. The company now expects total revenue for 2026 of $6.2 billion to $6.45 billion and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of $1.9 billion to $2.05 billion. This marks Versant's third earnings report since it was spun out from Comcast's NBCUniversal at the start of the year. The company, which includes a portfolio of pay TV networks including CNBC, MS Now and The Golf Channel began trading as a public company in January. Versant's earnings once again showcased that live sports and news grab the most viewers and advertising dollars for traditional TV, despite ongoing pressure on the bundle as it loses customers to streaming alternatives.
