Hes still all in on filmed entertainment, television content studios and theme parks.
But the trends being fueled by cord cutting are unmistakable.

Disney would retain control of ESPN.
Its looking to join forces in any or all of content, technology, marketing and distribution.
Content, meaning increasing the content that ESPN offers.
And distribution and marketing support.
And its possible that we be able to do both.
We benefitted greatly from the distribution support in the old business model from cable and satellite.
Obviously, when you go DTC you are doing it on your own.
Maybe theres an opportunity with another entity to help in that regard.
So, we are basically looking quiet expansively.
I must say we are quite encouraged with all the interest that weve had.
