One big winner will be NBCUniversal Studio Group chairman and chief content officer Donna Langley, who will take on added responsibility as chairman of NBCUniversal Entertainment and Studios, according to a memo from Comcast president Mike Cavanagh to staff Wednesday morning.

Comcast officially announced its plans for a spinoff company comprised of NBCUniversal's cable TV networks and more on Wednesday.

Matt Strauss and Donna Langley have been named to top roles at the new NBCUniversal, a move that pairs an executive well-versed in the world of streaming with a creative chief who has helped build and develop critical cinema franchises to help chart a new course for the venerable entertainment brand.
