Disney could soon sell its TV assets as Iger says business 'may not be core' to the company

Disney CEO Bob Iger appeared for an interview with CNBC's David Faber the morning after announcing a contract extension through 2026.

Disney's run ESPN into the ground. Why would anyone agree to pay to be their "partner" and be forced to continue all of the bad ideas they've already implemented? It'll either be someone buying it outright or enough of it that Disney's influence will cease to matter. Don't know why anyone would buy them at this stage however.

That's great news, but I have to much of my money tied up in Ingles to make a bid at this time. Maybe someone with less liberal goals than Disney will buy it.

What if ESPN goes under? These huge TV contracts with the SEC mainly and secondly the ACC could bankrupt southern football.

Read an article yesterday that said several people think AppleTV will buy Disney Media in less than 3yrs. I wondered if thst included ABC, ESPN, Hulu, Pixar and Disney+?
