Disney’s New Boss Sounds a Lot Like the Old Boss

Disney CEO Robert Iger has stated that the company's traditional television business, including ABC and ESPN, may not be core to its future.
This aligns with the vision of former Disney CEO Bob Chapek, who emphasized putting consumers at the center of every decision and integrating digital and in-person entertainment.
In September, Disney announced perks for Disney+ subscribers related to theme parks, merchandise, cruise lines, and theatrical movies.
Chapek was ousted in favor of Iger's return just two months after announcing this ambitious vision.
Selling the linear networks would leave Disney's future primarily focused on its parks and direct-to-consumer businesses.
