- Wednesday, March 6, 1:15 PM Bob Iger's position of power at Disney (DIS -0.3%) is safe after a shareholder resolution proposing to split the role of CEO and Chairman is voted down at the company's annual meeting. (webcast) Comment! [Consumer]
- Wednesday, March 6, 1:00 PM Heard during Disney's (DIS -0.4%) annual shareholder meeting: 1) Pension funds reps are given a microphone to pitch their resolution that executive compensation should be reeled back and the role of CEO/Chairman be split into two positions. 2) No visible signs of worry from execs on the threat of Fox's new all-sports new channel. By all accounts, ESPN will remain an advertising juggernaut. 3) CEO Bob Iger confirms the company is working on some standalone movies which feature the characters from the Star Wars franchise. (webcast) Comment! [Consumer]
- Wednesday, March 6, 8:17 AM Disney's (DIS) annual shareholder meeting begins this morning with a high-profile vote on the role of CEO Bob Iger on the schedule. The Connecticut Retirement Plans and Trust Funds will pitch a plan to shareholders to separate the roles of CEO and chairman. (webcast) Comment! [Consumer]
- Tuesday, March 5, 11:15 AM Disney (DIS +1.3%) works out a deal with Nielsen to adapt some of the ratings firm's online measures for advertisers looking to market across different mediums. The bigger issue: With the network industry getting set to pitch shows for advertisers and set upfront fees - look for more deals as CBS (CBS), NBC (CMCSA), A&E (AMCX), Fox (NWS) and TBS (TWX) scrap to have every eyeball counted while big spenders like Anheuser-Busch Inbev, Procter & Gamble, and Coca-Cola argue against it by contending the two mediums don't translate. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Monday, March 4, 7:17 AM Box office tracking shows Disney (DIS) movie Oz The Great And Powerful is on pace to earn $80M or more for its opening weekend which would be the best start for a film in 2013. Quite a bit is at stake with the release after the company's studio reportedly sunk $350M to product and market the movie and following the $200M loss on John Carter which dented the studio's reputation for producing profits. 9 Comments [Consumer]
- Saturday, March 2, 8:28 AM News Corp (NWS, NWSA) and Disney (DIS) are reportedly in talks which may end with one buying the other's stake in Hulu. The discussions stem from Disney's preference for an advertising-focused business model vs. News Corp.'s desire to rely on subscriptions. Comcast (CMCSA) also owns about one-third of Hulu, but is barred from an operational role or voting its stake. Comment! [Consumer]
- Tuesday, February 26, 2:36 PM More on the pay TV landscape (previous): Any change away from the model of forcing consumers to buy TV packages with hundreds of channels in favor of picking their options a la carte could help Dish Network (DISH +0.7%) and DirecTV (DTV -0.2%) - while pinching carriage fees for providers such as Scripps Networks Interactive (SNI -0.7%), AMC Networks (AMCX -4.3%) and even Disney (DIS +0.6%) with ESPN a major profit driver for the media giant. Though high-profile blackouts have hurt both sides, analysts think its the media companies that are starting to lose the PR battle with consumers. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Monday, February 25, 9:03 AM Disney's (DIS) ESPN will sell its sports networks in the U.K. and Ireland to BT Group (BT) for an amount reported to be in the "low tens of millions." The move comes after ESPN lost the broadcasting rights to Premier League soccer in the region. Comment! [Global & FX, Consumer]
- Wednesday, February 20, 1:35 PM Disney (DIS -0.8%) looks like it could run higher with capital expenditure spending drying up and revenue set to rise across segments. The bull case: ESPN is still a juggernaut, while the Netflix deal will help Disney become the first studio to overtake traditional cable TV firms. As for the potential for Lucasfilm/Star Wars, the movie blogosphere is already ablaze with rumors that Disney is putting the band back together (Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, John Williams) in a move that could help drive sales. 3 Comments [Consumer]
- Wednesday, February 20, 11:28 AM Cutting-edge Oscilloscope says it will be the first film distribution company to release a feature movie through mobile service Vine in a process which will chop its release up into a series of short looping videos. Though certainly not yet a medium which threatens the Hollywood studio model (TWX, DIS, LGF, VIAB, CMCSA, SNE), the development brings up some interesting revenue and promotional opportunities if the big players can harness the Internet interaction of their movies outside of the obligatory YouTube channel. Comment! [Consumer]
- Monday, February 18, 5:24 AM A long-running SEC investigation into possible corruption by U.S. movie studios in China is casting a shadow over Hollywood's dealings in the country, especially as there hasn't been too much information on the inquiry's progress. At the same time, Chinese consumers have started to prefer home-grown blockbusters over Hollywood fare. Still, the show goes on, with "Kung Fu Panda 3" and "Iron Man 3" among the projects that use China for filming. 4 Comments [Consumer]
- Friday, February 15, 1:23 PM Disney (DIS +0.5%) still has 20% upside potential over the next 12 months despite sitting near all-time highs, according to SumZero. The bull case: Slower growth at ESPN as it secured costly sporting rights will reverse and heavy investments in theme parks should pay off. Shanghai Disneyland and Lucasfilm are also earnings drivers which will start clicking in the near future. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Wednesday, February 13, 10:49 AM The planned commodification of the Star Wars franchise by Disney (DIS -0.1%) poses very little threat to overexposure, according to ebullient Hollywood insiders. Though examples of oversaturation litter the scrapyard of movie studios, Disney is sitting on a gold mine. Director Kevin Smith on Star Wars: "It's now as American as baseball and apple pie and as universal as Coca-Cola." 3 Comments [Consumer]
- Wednesday, February 13, 6:44 AM Disney (DIS) sells $800M of floating-rate notes priced just below Libor. The company says it will use the funds for general corporate purposes. Comment! [Consumer]
- Tuesday, February 12, 6:57 AM Disney (DIS) reveals details about its new 24-hour news and entertainment channel it's launching with Univision, saying Fusion will launch in late summer. The network will be widely programmed to appeal to an English-speaking Latino audience. Comment! [Consumer]
- Monday, February 11, 8:43 AM Dish Network (DISH) will go to trial today to seek $150M from ESPN (DIS) for offering its rivals better terms on the licensing of sports programming in breach of an existing contract between the two companies. The courtroom action could be interesting to investors if ESPN's subscriber rates and terms are disclosed. Comment! [Consumer]
