As reported in the UK Financial Times on 15 January, Walt Disney, the US entertainment and media group, has ousted the president of its international entertainment business in a shake-up of its channel content and distribution business.
David Hulbert, who led the international TV business for almost five years, left the company after Disney promoted two other executives and changed its reporting structure for Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Anne Sweeney, co-chairman of Disneys Media Networks division, who unveiled the changes commented: This reorganisation is simply the next step in our ongoing efforts to increase effectiveness and streamline communication among our television properties in these important territories.
