A few weeks before Bob Iger sat down for that CNBC interview in which he said Disneys linear TV networks, like ABC and FX, may not be core to the companys business, a veteran Hollywood executive mused to The Hollywood Reporter on the possibility of a deal that would rock the industry: Apple buying Disney. Its an idea that keeps being discussed, even though many top executives have scoffed at it and many still do. Apple doesnt want to buy a studio, they say, and theres no way the feds would allow a huge deal like that to go through.

But this observer wasnt so quick to rule it out. I dont think [Apple] would buy the company as it presently exists, he said. But if you see Bob start to divest things that feels like hes prepping for a sale. And theres clearly no buyer like Apple.
