Yes It is part of Rupert Murdochs media empire. It appearshe is pruning some of his assets. I have also heard that Disney is pulling out of Netflix, and staring its own pay channel!! Ken Finch. [Roll Eyes]

I have a good friend that works for Disney in Florida it's a shame they can't give their employees more money

When Walt Disney opened Disneyland in California, the entrance fee was $1.00. Now its about $115.00. The Walt Disney Company was a fabulous place to work when Walt was running the show, but the magic died with him. Now its all about money.
