This may not be a guaranteed, but I would love to see Reggie Fils-Aimé as the new CEO of Disney. He’s the former CEO of Nintendo.

I’m sure there is a 1/10000000000 chance of this happening.

I'm not guaranteed it'll happen. It's just a suggestion.

Hmmmm Looks like B.I. might be in the market to sell Disney assets. 10 billion offer on the table for ABC. How hungry is Disney for some money and shedding assets?

That’s old news. Media mogul Bryon Allen talked about buying ABC for $10 billion in 2023.

Does that sound like a lot?

Thanks Hulu!

Indeed. Iger musing about selling off ABC is just as old. And he was musing about the linear network assets, not the content that the studios produce that feed ABC.

Comcast is also starting to muse about selling off its networks assets, too.

Streaming is already beating linear in eyeballs. Linear is dying and will wind up a niche product, like vinyl records.

Streamers are figuring out advertising on streaming, and once that is locked down, they'll be pushing linear off the train.

Point is B.I. continues to entertain the thought, muss and fuss plus grumble. Never say never.

And it was soundly rejected back then, when D+ wasn't making as much as it is now. No chance they do it.

Comcast spinning off linear assets seems to be the plan in lieu of selling them off

 

[BrianLo]

Of note Comcast would retain NBC and Bravo. There's not really much in the way for Disney to spin off as most of their linear networks are still streaming content suppliers. Maybe A&E Networks.

A couple of sacrificial lambs named to head the "new" divisions that "may" have new opportunities to explore content......
Yeah it's a write off

It's like that episode of the Simpsons in which they lured Bart and all the underachieving students away from the school on a fake school trip because it was state-wide testing day, and they didn't want those kids to drag the schools scores down.
