Disney CEO Bob Iger said Thursday that he may offload the company’s TV assets because they "may not be core" to the business.

Iger said he would look at Disney’s traditional TV business, which owns and operates a series of networks like broadcast station ABC and cable channels like ESPN.

"They may not be core to Disney," Iger told CNBC.

Since Iger’s return last year, Disney has initiated layoffs impacting thousands of employees, while also cutting billions of dollars in spending.

According to Disney, the board’s vote on the additional years was unanimous. His original deal had him as CEO until the end of 2024. 

Iger said in a statement that he agreed to stay on longer because "there is more to accomplish before this transformative work is complete" and he wanted to "ensure Disney is strongly positioned when my successor takes the helm."

In the announcement about his contract extension, both Iger and Disney appeared to highlight the importance of looking for someone to succeed him. 

"The importance of the succession process cannot be overstated, and as the Board continues to evaluate a highly qualified slate of internal and external candidates, I remain intensely focused on a successful transition," Iger said.

Meanwhile, Disney stock is wobbling on Thursday, after slipping roughly 3.4% the last month and around 11% the last three months.
