1046 ET - Despite the challenges Versant faces in its linear TV business, the company has opportunities to develop and grow other revenue streams, whether organically or through acquisitions, says Seaport Research Partners analyst David Joyce says in a note. Versant's Fandango is expected to launch an ad-supported streaming service this year, while MS NOW and CNBC also plan on releasing genre-specific direct-to-consumer subscription services, Joyce says. Additionally, the company's focus on golf "should lead to more market share in GolfNow tee time bookings and golf course relationships globally, as well as cross-selling with its subscription-based GolfPass offering," Joyce says.
