Disney's Streaming Services: Disney+ (and Hulu, ESPN+, Star, & hotstar)

the issue now is that if they hire him back the other side will cancel subscriptions.

It’s really messy. For Disney - the best thing would have been to keep him hired and just say they are “working with media partners” and let it settle down before making a decision.

How can they hire him back when he wasn't fired? Isn't your second option what is actually happening- a suspension?

What ever ousts Iger is fine by me.

What ever ousts Iger is fine by me.

Iger's contract ends next year. All that would happen is they start the transition to whomever is the next CEO early, and he stays on to finish out his contract.

The announcement of Iger's replacement is due in 4-6 months.

Iger then leaves Dec 31, 2026.

I was saying don’t suspend the show at all - keep producing it and let local networks do whatever they want.

I was saying don’t suspend the show at all - keep producing it and let local networks do whatever they want.

If affiliates bail there is no economic sense to continue producing the show - it’s not clear any show with that degree of production value and support is sustainable as a streamer.

It looks like the boycott is having an impact.

Maybe. Maybe not. I have a pretty broad group of friends and contacts at both ends of the spectrum and saw far more screen cancellations for D+ and “boycott Disney” sentiment in the last few days than I ever saw at any previous cultural inflection point. That said, I think the subscriber effect will be negligible (or unknowable, as they won’t be reporting subscriber numbers routinely going forward anyway).

The bigger issue is the talent boycott. Already we’ve seen people who have been very active with Disney in the past and currently writing sternly-worded tweets or IG posts about working with Disney again. We’ll see if they have the courage of their convictions, but since their convictions are generally more aligned with remaining employed than being vociferous defenders of free speech, this’ll blow over soon too.

If it keeps people from boycotting the entire company, cancelling subscriptions, and the host from potentially suing - there is indeed economic sense to continue producing the show. That’s my point. Which I didn’t make clear - as per usual - but I try!
