MED
Selective emphasis on recovery narrative: highlights streaming profitability turnaround under Iger's leadership and parks strength while characterizing linear TV decline as structural/inevitable rather than manageable. Uses 'success story' language for streaming but neutral/negative framing ('decline,' 'terminal') for linear TV.

Potential antitrust scrutiny on Disney's integrated streaming-content-parks ecosystem; regulatory focus on streaming market consolidation; possible labor negotiations as company restructures linear TV operations; advertising regulation impacts on political ad revenue volatility.
