ESPN printed money for them for years, but not as much now. If they sell off, now is the time.

Viacom should go for it. ESPN/CBS combo would work. NBC not as much.

Just a rumor popping up in the markets. It seems to be driving a bump for Disney stock.

Is ESPN losing money?

I doubt it, but they've made some pretty big cutbacks to try and maintain their profit margins.

That would be a positive step

Would they though? I’m not so sure.

They would no longer be under Disney's protection.

Disney is all in on streaming. ESPN still makes most of its money off the cable

Disney+ 116 million subscribers. ESPN+ 15 million.

I love posts that are short, sweet, and get to the point. I ain't got time for context & expounding.

Disney responded to CNBC. “Not true, ESPN part of larger sports gambling plan.”

That’s what a seller says when they want as high a price as possible

It's more likely that they spin off the parks and resorts business.

I highly doubt this would happen while of course COVID caused huge problems, pre covid, parks was a juggernaut. There

It probably won't be Chapek that does it. It'd be his successor.
