Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) is considering selling an underperforming German TV unit, Bloomberg reports.
The cableco is talking with an adviser as it considers possibly selling Sky Deutschland, according to the report.
Comcast stock (CMCSA) is 2.2% higher, having moderated some significantly heavier gains earlier in response to its third-quarter earnings report.

That report showed that Sky Deutschland operations were a drag on Comcast in Europe, where gains in the UK were offset by lower sales in Italy and Germany.
The unit could be valued around â¬1B in any sale, according to the report. Comcast acquired Sky Deutschland in its $39B purchase of the UK's Sky in 2018.
