The Daily Wire, the conservative media outlet founded by Ben Shapiro, has hired a Disney veteran to help grow its subscription streaming business.
The company has tapped Eric Caballero as its new CMO, overseeing all marketing for the company, particularly as it continues to invest in the entertainment business, arguing that legacy companies like Disney have abandoned their family-friendly roots.
Caballero most recently worked as VP in Disney’s media and entertainment distribution group.
Among other projects, Caballero will lead marketing for The Daily Wire+, the company’s streaming platform. While it includes politically-focused content from The Daily Wire as well as some other conservative programming, the company is moving further into entertainment, committing 100 million to produce kids and family fare, and expanding into original movies (including a Gina Carano led offering called Terror on the Prairie).

Looks like Disney Channel is about to let its hair down. The network announced today that production has begun on Tangled, a continuation TV series focusing on Rapunzel and Flynn Rider (excuse me, I mean, Eugene Fitzherbert, of course) that will take place during the time between the ending of the 2010 feature film and the 2012 short Tangled Ever After, which centered on Rapunzel and Eugene’s wedding day.
