Bob Iger's Disney: Kimmel, FCC Drama & $3 Streaming Tricks
Disney CEO Bob Iger is starring in his own real-life drama hotter than any Disney plot twist as he navigates the 'Kimmelgate' storm. The saga features Jimmy Kimmel's tearful return after a politically charged suspension sparking uproar on BOTH aisles—because why pick one enemy when you can have two? Nexstar and Sinclair owning 25% of ABC stations play FCC Chair Brendan Carr’s antagonist sidekick by refusing to air Kimmel, calling resistance 'a good thing.' Meanwhile, Iger juggles his looming 2026 retirement, a CEO search post-Chapek debacle, and a sneaky $2-$3 Disney+ price hike that unites everyone painfully in irritation.
