If you ask me, ever since Bob Iger became CEO of the Walt Disney
Company in 2005, he began fixing the problems Michael Eisner made when
it came to movies (buying Pixar, bringing back quality animated movies
whether they're 2D or CGI) and theme parks. Unfortunately, I don't
think he's been doing anything to their television arm, Disney/ABC
Television Group. All Disney/ABC has been doing since 2006 is
destroying the Disney name and the company's reputation. Hannah
Montana? High School Musical? Shake It Up? Disney XD? Pretty Little
Liars? How do these live up to the company's standards of quality
family entertainment? All they are doing is catering to the lowest
common denominator (preppy tweens and teens and/or spoiled college
kids). ABC has especially gone downhill with their LCD sitcoms and
dramas, reality shows, and left-leaning (in my opinion) evening
newscasts. That has made me conclude that Mr. Iger and Disney need to
do something about this, and I think spinning off Disney/ABC
Television Group (and that includes all of their television networks,
even Disney Channel) into a separate publicly-traded company would be
the best bet. Think about it... Disney can focus on what they do best
(movies, animation, and theme parks) while the new Disney/ABC (which
would probably be renamed ABC Inc. if the spin-off were to occur)
would focus on television properties and broadcasting. Your thoughts?
Agree or disagree?
