Author Description:
 
United States radio and TV network, founded as such in 1943.

ABC traces its history to the early days of radio, when it was actually the Blue Network of NBC. In 1942, RCA (under pressure from the FCC) spun off the Blue assets as the Blue Network, Inc. In 1943, Edward Noble, the Lifesavers tycoon, purchased Blue Network, and in 1945 changed its name (after acquiring the name from George Storer).

In 1995, Disney acquired ABC, and Capital Cities with it. As of now, ABC Radio is one of only three major radio networks still in existence (the others being Clear Channel and Westwood One), and their TV division is still doing reasonably well; in 1999-2000, Who Wants to be a Millionaire? took them from 3rd place to 1st -- another first for them.
