Strategic vision and business transformation
Versant is launching as an independent company with a mandate to expand beyond cable and media, focusing on four core markets: business news and personal finance, political news and opinion, golf and athletics participation, and sports and genre entertainment.
The company is shifting from a legacy, under-resourced model to one that invests in its brands, prioritizing live programming and exclusive content to drive audience engagement and advertiser value.
Versant's strategy centers on vertical growth within its core markets, leveraging premium content, expanding digital platforms, and disciplined capital allocation to diversify revenue streams.
Recent acquisitions, such as Free TV Networks and Indie Cinema, are designed to extend reach and services, while strategic alternatives are being explored for non-core assets.
The company aims to evolve its revenue mix, targeting a shift from 83% network-based revenue in 2024 to a more balanced model over the next several years.
Market leadership and audience engagement
Versant holds leading positions in business news (CNBC), political news (MS NOW), golf (Golf Channel, GolfNow), and sports/entertainment (USA, E!, SYFY, Oxygen), with strong brand awareness and loyal, engaged audiences.
Live programming is a key differentiator, with 62% of viewership coming from live news and sports, outpacing competitors like Paramount, WBD, and Disney.
The company is expanding beyond pay-TV through AVOD, SVOD, over-the-air, and social media, aiming to nearly double audience reach and monetize content in new ways.
Digital platforms such as GolfNow and Fandango are being scaled, with plans for international expansion, new B2B services, and the launch of ad-supported streaming on Fandango at Home.
MS NOW and CNBC are launching new direct-to-consumer products, including a D2C service for political news superfans and an expanded subscription offering for retail investors.
Financial outlook and capital allocation
For fiscal 2025, Versant projects $6.6 billion in revenue, $2.2 billion in EBITDA, and $1.4 billion in free cash flow, with a strong balance sheet and modest leverage.
Revenue is expected to decline 6% in 2025 due to secular pay-TV trends and post-election seasonality, but investments in digital and platform businesses are expected to improve the trajectory over time.
The company targets increasing non-pay-TV revenue from 17% in 2024 to about a third in the next several years, with a long-term goal of achieving parity between growth areas and pay-TV.
Capital allocation priorities include investing in business model transition, maintaining a strong balance sheet, paying an attractive dividend (targeting 20% of free cash flow), and authorizing up to $1 billion in share repurchases.
Versant's financial strategy emphasizes continuous efficiency, leveraging technology and AI to manage costs, and a disciplined approach to M&A focused on vertical scale within its core markets.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
