WHOA: Disney CEO Bob Iger to step down (per release): Bob Chapek, who runs the theme parks, will start immediately as CEO. (Also means Kevin Mayer, who runs the streaming biz, didn't get it.)

Summary of weird: - Bob is 14 months into 36 month extension - Didn't do this during blow-them-away earnings a few weeks ago - No transition; immediate - During Coronavirus parks/theatrical scare crushing stock - Random Tuesday drop - Comes after months of Iger's press tour

What a run as CEO! His book from last year is a great read and very informative. You can certainly question the artistic merits of his strategies, but he's brilliant business man. And he was smart enough to retire on top of the world. https://twitter.com/...

Conventional media biz wisdom was that Iger, who kept renewing his contract, would stick around for some time; and that Kevin Mayer, who is running Disney streaming, was being groomed to replace him.
