Disney's profit and revenue climbed in its fiscal third quarter based on the strength of the entertainment company's streaming service and domestic theme parks.

The morning after the Walt Disney Co. and the NFL formally announced their blockbuster equity-for-assets swap, Bob Iger told investors the deal may well be the biggest thing to hit ESPN in nearly 40 years.

As part of the deal, the NFL will own a 10% stake in ESPN and continue to own, operate and produce NFL RedZone and retain rights to distribute it digitally.
