@ChloeMelas@NBCNews@ChloeMelas Great read! Quick note, pretty sure the 8M at the end of the article is meant to be 8B. Interested to see how this bid plays out!
For 100 years, the @WaltDisneyCo has created magic through ground-breaking storytelling. A small four-page contract gave birth to a media kingdom that spans generations of audiences. #Disney100 reminds us that "it's fun to do the impossible"!
Some very concerning online chatter around this situation. My peers at @TheAlligator are absolute professionals. The editorial team wasn't involved in this decision. Pls remember this is a student publication and harassment towards their staff is not okay.
This is a good time to remember that "industry analyst" speculate this every few years and there's never been public contemplation or discourse around a deal like that.
However, Disney potentially selling assets to strategically reorganize the operations isn't a crazy thought.
Some industry analysts think Apple could acquire Disney in the next few years.
To avoid FTC blocking, Disney could sell some of its linear TV assets (ABC, FX, etc) or other assets in order to slim down the company for an acquisition.

Yes, we hard A LOT about unscripted content at #DisneyUpfront. Why? Probably because production timelines shifted during the ongoing strike; that's normal. We ALSO got reassurances about the upcoming scripted content in the short term schedule on multiple platforms.
βοΈ The wins keep rolling in for "All Quiet On The Western Front" as they win #AcademyAwards for Production Design, Best Original Score, Best International Feature, AND Best Cinematography.
