Comcast is considering spinning off its cable network business, which includes USA Network, Syfy and Bravo, as the media giant grabbles with the changes in the linear television industry.

Comcast said it was considering spinning off its cable networks that include CNBC and MSNBC into a separate company, as the media industry grapples with a decline in traditional TV viewership due to cord-cutting by consumers shifting to streaming.

Analysts think Comcast’s sprawling empire could get more investor respect without its troubled cable networks, and the networks could benefit from being on their own as well.
