Disney plans a television restructuring expected to bring hundreds of layoffs and division consolidations following three rounds of cuts in 2026. The reorganization is intended to fit the business to streaming customers rather than broadcast and cable television.

The company owns or partly owns about 25 linear outlets, among them ABC with eight stations, seven Disney and FX cable channels, majority interests in National Geographic and ESPN networks, and half of A and E, History, Lifetime and LMN, against four streaming services Disney Plus, Hulu, ESPN Select and ESPN Unlimited.

Disney Channel averaged 110000 primetime Live plus 7 viewers through 2025, and six of the networks averaged under 100000.
