Disney CEO Iger brings back former executives Mayer and Staggs as consultants on future of TV assets including ESPN

Iger has rehired former Disney executives Mayer and Staggs to advise on linear TV businesses such as ESPN, ABC, and FX as company shifts to streaming.
Mayer and Staggs will work with ESPN President Pitaro to explore strategic options for the sports network.
Move comes amid Disney's struggles with box office flops, streaming profits, and as Iger's CEO contract was extended through 2026.
Iger has mentioned Disney's linear networks may not be core assets and could potentially be sold.
Mayer and Staggs were previously considered candidates to succeed Iger before leaving Disney to form investment firm Candle Media.
