While viewing gains have been impressive, they mask a darker reality: with the cancellation of high-profile/high-revenue events, networks are scrambling to replace high-dollar programming with mostly of reruns.
The company will present to its clients a series of contents to replace those spaces on their programming grid occupied by live shows or canceled events, based on the official recommendations to address today’s health crisis.
Replacing Nicola Shindler, who will now be the company's Chief Creative Officer, the former Entertainment One UK executive will join the company and report to group CEO, Anna Marsh, starting on April, 2020.
Bob Chapek, Bob Iger’s replacement, will focus its strategy on direct-to-consumer services such as Disney+ and Hulu, which he considers the “most important” to the company.
The executive will be replaced by Bob Chapek, who has most recently served as chairman of Disney’s parks business. Iger will take on the role of Executive Chairman to ensure a smooth transition through the end of his contract on Dec. 31, 2021.
