Disney’s $1.2 Billion Exit Signals the End of an Old Media Era

Disney has agreed to sell its stake in A+E Global Media to Hearst, giving Hearst full ownership of brands including A&E, History, and Lifetime. The move reflects Disney’s effort to reduce its exposure to traditional cable television as the media landscape continues to shift. In this episode, we look at why big media companies are reshaping their portfolios and what this deal says about the changing value of legacy television assets.
