  "textContent": "WASHINGTON, July 16, 2025 – Liberty Broadband Corporation announced Monday it has completed the spin-off of GCI Liberty, Inc., officially separating into two independent publicly traded companies.\n\nGCI Liberty, _formerly GCI,_ serves more than 200 communities across Alaska, having invested $4.7 billion into its network and facilities over the past 45 years. It was _acquired by Liberty Broadband in 2020_. Now, GCI Liberty has been cut loose and will operate independently with its shares distributed to Liberty Broadband stockholders, the company _said in a press release_.\n\nThe spin-off comes as Charter Communications moves to acquire Liberty Broadband, a company that holds a 26% stake in Charter and few other assets. The Liberty deal was being accelerated to coincide with Charter’s planned merger with Cox Communications.\n\n\n\n_****There's a whole community behind your FREE membership...****_\n\n There's a whole community behind your FREE membership... \n\nGCI Liberty’s Series A (GLIBA) and Series C (GLIBK) common stock began trading Tuesday on the NASDAQ. The company’s Series B shares (GLIBB) were expected to start trading on the over-the-counter on July 21.\n\nGCI co-founder **Ron Duncan** _will serve as President and CEO_ of GCI Liberty. **Marty Patterson** has been appointed President and CEO of Liberty Broadband. Patterson, who also serves as senior vice president of Liberty Media and sits on Charter’s board, supplants **John Malone** , the respective Chair of Liberty Broadband and GCI Liberty.",
