Disney10-Q: Channel shift

Disney is shifting from linear networks to DTC streaming in new carriage agreements.

What happened

Renewals of carriage agreements are including fewer linear networks in favor of making DTC streaming services available to distributors' subscribers. This creates pressure to optimize the DTC platform, manage subscriber data, and develop new digital-first marketing and revenue models.
