On Monday morning Walt Disney Co. CEO Bob Iger addressed employees at the company in a town hall for the first time since his sudden return a week earlier. Kabc anchor Leslie Sykes moderated the town hall.
Iger said that while the ask “was a surprise,” he also “had some inkling that the call could come that day,” so he prepared for the possibility by asking his wife Willow Bay if he should return to Disney if asked.
“Her reaction was, ‘If you are asked, you have to do it,'” he said, adding that while he was “emotionally distant, purposefully” from the company after he left, he was “never fully detached” given his affection for Disney.
Facing a wide range of questions from employees, some in the room and some remote, some on the record and some anonymous, Iger addressed everything from potential dealmaking,...

The shakeups at Los Angeles local news stations continue apace, as weekend anchor and general assignment reporter Veronica Miracle announced that she’s leaving ABC7 – without indicating where she’s going next.
Miracle announced Tuesday on Twitter that she’s leaving the station, which she joined in 2017 after a three-year stint at ABC30 in Fresno, California. She also hinted in her farewell post that she may be leaving Southern California, saying “Thank you to everyone in SoCal and at ABC7 for all of the support over the years, it’s meant so much!”

Retiring Disney CEO Bob Iger knows how to pick his moments.
It’d been 48 years since the onetime weatherman had presented a forecast to viewers but, before stepping down from his post at the end of this month, Iger gave it a go again this morning on Kabc in Los Angeles. His timing was great, because today L.A. actually had weather.
“There is light rain falling across the Southland this morning, expected to get just a little bit heavier as the jay — day — progresses,” said a slightly jittery Iger as he co-hosted the segment with meteorologist Leslie Lopez. “This is just a prelude to a big storm that should be coming through the southland Monday and into Tuesday morning.”
As he continued into the extended forecast, Iger got a little more conversational.
“Very nippy on Saturday morning by the way. Sixty-two degrees in the Los Angeles area,” he said.
