Cable TV subscriptions and distribution are declining, reducing the long-term outlook for the traditional business. Cable TV networks, however, continue to generate substantial cash. Versant Media, a cable TV company spun out of Comcast, plans to use that cash to shift away from cable TV.

The key question is how to execute the transition successfully while maintaining cash flow during the shift.
