Disney has taken a cue from Warner Bros. Discovery’s playbook and announced a strategic move to remove underperforming titles from its streaming services. In a recent earnings call, Disney CFO Christine McCarthy revealed that the company would be conducting a comprehensive review of its TV series and films across its platforms.
The outcome of this review is expected to be the removal of “certain content from streaming platforms.” This decision comes with a hefty price tag, as Disney anticipates a significant impairment charge ranging from $1.5 billion to $1.8 billion. I think this initiative will be rewarded in the long run as it costs for the platform. Already, Disney with Hotstar in India turned down so many streaming rights mainly The IPL.
By streamlining its content offering, Disney aims to optimize its streaming services and boost profitability. This move reflects a growing trend in the industry, where media companies are focusing on quality over quantity to cater to evolving consumer preferences. While this may result in some fan favorites being retired, Disney’s strategic move ensures a more curated and engaging viewing experience for its loyal audience.
