Disney Interactive Media Group (DIMG) is the segment of The Walt Disney Company responsible for interactive entertainment, multi-platform video games, and lifestyle content on current and emerging platforms. The company recently held a Digital NewFront event in New York City to announce its new digital programming line-up.

DIMG's Dave Dickman told iMedia's Bethany Simpson that one of the big changes with Disney's digital programming is that "the walled garden is down." He said, "We want to get our content out to as many people, consumers, guests, as possible. Wherever they want to consume it." Watch the full interview for more.
