Walt Disney‘s streaming service will start cracking down on password-sharing from June, Chief Executive Bob Iger said on Thursday, as the entertainment conglomerate looks to boost subscriber growth and profitability at the business.
Iger also said there was a need for some consolidation in the streaming industry and Disney was eventually looking at double-digit margins in streaming, in a wide-ranging interview with CNBC, Reuters reported.
The interview came just a day after Disney investors backed Iger and other company directors, defeating a campaign by activist investors including Nelson Peltz who argued that Disney had underperformed in the streaming-television era.
“The proxy vote was a decisive, true endorsement of the board,” he said, playing down criticisms of the activist investors and saying that the company was focused on succession – one of the major tasks facing the board of Disney.
