I was at that rate for a couple of years, but are those deals available to past subscribers? E.g. if I cancel in September, can I get the holiday deal in November?

In any event, it will be interesting to see whether this month's happenings have an effect on Disney/Hulu viewership in the next couple of months.

Just need to use a different email if it's only for new subscribers.

Almost always no. Deals like this are usually to get new people on board and hopefully they continue at the regular price once the deal expires.

The black friday deal has been open to anyone without an active sub last couple of years. New or returning.

I still had an active sub that I canceled but since it was still active during the deal, had to have to my wife do it. She didn't bother to get the d+ portion (you sign up for hulu and have to activate a $1 per month d+ addon promo within a certain time period) so we ended up missing out on it. Still had the hulu sub part, just not the d+ addon. Canceled it after figured out she didn't do the d+ bit. I am not still mad about it...

Did get it back for a while on some deal they had for 3 months, went to cancel that got another deal for another 3 months, went to just cancel that today and didn't get offered anything. Good through early November currently, hopefully they pull out the BF deal again, I'd do it even if that went up to $4-6 for it. Otherwise I am out on D+.

And back to regularly scheduled programming. Sinclair and Nexstar putting Kimmel back on the air.

If true, that's a good thing.

The author misses a bigger point. What happens in Jan 2026 when Kimmel's contract is set to expire? Does Danna give into the Hollywood pressure to re-up Jimmy???? Even before this dust up, many of the rumors I was reading indicated Disney was ready to move on from a very expensive and a show losing multimillions of dollars. This is true strength of leadership--do what is right for the company and cut bait with a negative profitable show or extend to appease the Hollywood crowd at the expense of profitability.

Disney’s handling of Jimmy Kimmel fallout highlights big challenges for next leader​

NOTE: I find the part in the article about some worrying that none of the candidates (Alan Bergman, Dana Walden, Josh D'Amaro, and Jimmy Pitaro) will match Iger’s skills to be nonsense. I feel the company needs a change of pace under the new CEO.

I wonder how the rumors know how much Disney is making or losing on this. Does that count the add revenue that they get at the time it airs?

There's something to be said about having wide connections and ample respect within the industry, which Iger has. That doesn't mean that the next person can't build that, too, but it may take time.
