(FILES) President of the American Broadc

WASHINGTON, UNITED STATES: (FILES) President of the American Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) Robert Iger testifies 07 July, 1998 before the US Senate subcommittee on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. Walt Disney Co is expected to name Robert Iger to replace Michael Eisner as chief executive officer, The Wall Street Journal reported 13 March, 2005. The promotion of Disney's current president could be announced as early as 13 March, after the sole external candidate, Internet auction site EBay's CEO Meg Whitman, withdrew her candidacy, the Journal said. Whitman decided to remain at EBay, in part because Disney was taking longer than promised to find a new CEO, a source told the paper. Eisner put forth Iger, 54, as his preferred successor several months ago after announcing that he would step down as CEO when his contract expires in September next year. Eisner's leadership sparked a shareholder revolt led by Roy Disney, nephew of the company founder, who blamed the top executive for lackluster performance in recent years.
