In addition to the TV show, the two collaborate on a self-titled clothing line, a self-titled magazine and self-titled...
While its current melodrama gets the headlines, ABC News shares the same fate as its rival news divisions. All are expected to perform alchemy--to increase market share while cutting the budget and, oh yeah, delivering the news in a lively, interesting and accurate manner. Iger insists that he and Eisner give ABC News their full support. "We cheer them on," says Iger, "on a regular basis. We're constant and avid viewers.
