Walt Disney Co.'s chief executive Michael Eisner's exit from the company could come a lot sooner than expected, Local 6 News reported Wednesday.
Tuesday night, the Disney board revealed that it has already started a nationwide search for Eisner's replacement, according to the report.
Local 6 News confirmed that the company has set a deadline of next June for that person to be in place.
One of the possible contenders is Disney President Robert Iger, according to a report.
Board members said that Eisner may then stay on for a while to help the new chief executive officer.
Recently, Eisner announced that he was planning to step down in two years.
His contract expires in 2006.
