Disney’s Dana Walden to CNBC’s James Cramer: Streaming ‘Is a Growth Business for Our Company’
Disney Entertainment co-chair Dana Walden talked up the growth potential of Disney's streaming operations in an interview with CNBC's James Cramer.
Walden explained how the combination of linear and streaming, in a best case scenario, can bring Disney an enormous and largely unduplicated audience. Walden also talked up the news of the morning — the unveiling of pricing and launch plans for mothership ESPN, which will be available in the fall for purchase as a streaming channel or as part of the existing Disney+ bundle that at present includes Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+. In responding to Cramer, Walden deftly sidestepped the Netflix vs. Disney question to reinforce the company’s faith in the Disney+ bundle as its engine of the future.
