Part 4/11:
Amidst the turmoil, Disney CEO Bob Iger has openly floated the possibility of selling part of the company's vast portfolio. During a CNBC interview, Iger suggested that Disney's linear TV assets—such as ABC, FX, and Free Form—might be "non-core," and that Disney is actively seeking a partner for ESPN through a strategic partnership rather than outright sale. This approach underscores a shift away from traditional cable and network reliance, tactics that once formed the backbone of Disney’s profit model.
