ABC News

ABC News is a USA TV network covering National News.

ABC News was founded on June 15, 1945. It is the news division of the ABC Television Network, a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company. The major programs produced by ABC News include World News with Diane Sawyer, Good Morning America, Nightline, This Week with Christiane Amanpour, Primetime, and 20/20. In March and April 2010, ABC News sharply reduced its news-gathering staff, cutting back 300 to 400 people, which is roughly 25% of the ABC News work force. The network plans to eventually shut down all its American news bureaus except those in New York and Washington, D.C.

This TV network is owned by ABC Television Network.
