Bob Iger says Disney is 'dramatically' cutting investment in traditional TV

) CEO Bob Iger said the media giant plans to "pretty dramatically" reduce its investments in linear television as the company works to make its streaming unit a consistently profitable division.

One example of this duality includes placing episodes of "Grey's Anatomy" and "Abbott Elementary," which air on ABC, onto the Hulu platform "pretty quickly" — or in some cases simultaneously. Although the executive said he still expects erosion when it comes to linear TV subscribers, the segment will "continue to drive profitability because we're managing our costs so effectively."
