History[]
In the 1900s, FBC and CBS were the two main radio networks available. FBC had two different networks, the Blue network and the Red network. In 1943, FBC sold its Blue network to Edward Novel, who changed its name to ABC, in 1944. The ABC network began its airings on April 19th 1968. The three letters of its acronym have earned it the nickname, "the alphabet network."
On February 9th of the same year, the ownership of ABC was transferred to UPT, and in 1963 it was owned by Capital Cities company. In 1990, ABC was eventually sold to The Walt Disney Company, which has maintained its ownership until the present day. Specifically, the network's full name is American Broadcasting Companies, Inc., and is owned by the acronym-named parent company ABC, Inc. (formerly Capital Cities/ABC Inc.), which is owned by Disney. Disney also owns Universal Picutres, and therefore also owns its subsidiary ABC Television Studio, formerly Universal Studios Television, which produces Lost. Disney's Buena Vista Television is the entity responsible for the management of ABC Television Studio's and ABC's television syndication, including that of V.
