Variety via Getty Images Versant Media said third quarter profit fell as its dependence on traditional media properties forced it to navigate with drops in cash from both advertising and distribution even as the company acquires new direct-to-consumer operations and launches digital businesses tied to its linear properties.
The owner of MS NOW, CNBC and USA said net income in the period fell more than 40% to $47 million, a decrease of $33 million from $80 million in the year-earlier period. Versant cited lower revenue and public company costs and interest expense following its separation from Comcast.
