You basically just described what Tribune Company did over the last few years. 8 years ago they owned the Chicago Cubs, a bunch of profitable TV stations, and a bunch of newspapers that were in big trouble.

They sold the Cubs and created two new companies, Tribune Media and Tribune Publishing. Tribune Media got all the TV stations and holdings in internet companies. Tribune Publishing consists of all the newspapers.

The best part is that Tribune Media kept Tribune Tower in Chicago, home of the newspaper, and makes Tribune Publishing lease it from them.
