Let the guy enjoy his well-earned retirement. There are plenty of younger guys who deserve a chance and probably would make a difference. I'm not in the entertainment industry, so I don't have any insider info. But it's obvious that Disney and ABC know how to nurture great leadership, that's how they got Michael Eisner once-upon-a-time. He worked for Disney for 21 years, and before that he was at Paramount with a string of successes at both companies.

Here's a hint: the next leader of Disney/ABC could just as well be a talented woman. All it takes is a little imagination and a lot of courage.
