Disney CEO Open to Selling Stake in ESPN

from Front Office Sports Today · host Front Office Sports

In an era of cord-cutting, Disney CEO Bob Iger is exploring selling stakes in Disney's linear and digital channels — including ESPN. Senior writer Mike McCarthy joins us to break down Iger's position — and why he thinks Iger is showing his hand with the announcement. We also hear from Senior Reporter A.J. Perez on a potential holdup with the Washington Commanders sale. Plus, ESPN Tennis commentator Patrick McEnroe joins us from Wimbledon to give us a sneak peek of this weekend's finals, whether or not sports documentaries like Netflix's "Break Point" can turn your average tennis player into a household name, and why we haven't seen a American tennis player at the top of the standings in well over a decade.
