> Disney May Sell ABC TV Stations, Caris Analyst Says (Update1)

To the extent I understand these actions of the congloms, this seems like 
something of *very* minimal impact or importance. Disney already had an 
insignificant number of O&Os (wrt the 39 percent national cap they have at 
their disposal), and the condition placed on the sale of this tiny number of 
O&Os is that they remain affiliated with the ABC network.

To the OTA consumer like me, this says merely that Disney prefers to outsource 
all of its TV content distribution. It by no means implies that Disney wants to 
get out of the OTA delivery medium.

Outsourcing to another company for the OTA distribution is more like what the 
European OTA networks do.
