History
edit20th-century origins
editABC began in 1943 as theNBC Blue Network,aradio networkthat wasspun offfromNBC,as ordered by theFederal Communications Commission(FCC) in 1942.[1]The reason for the order was to expand competition in radio broadcasting in theUnited States,specifically news and political broadcasting, and broaden the projectedpoints of view.Only a few companies, such as NBC andCBS,dominated the radio market. NBC conducted the split voluntarily in case its appeal of the ruling was denied, and it was forced to split its two networks into separate companies.
Regulartelevision news broadcastson ABC began soon after the network signed on its initialowned-and-operated television station(WJZ-TV, nowWABC-TV) and production center inNew York Cityin August 1948. Broadcasts continued as the ABC network expanded nationwide. Until the early 1970s, ABC News programs and ABC in general consistently ranked third in viewership behindCBSandNBCnews programs. ABC had feweraffiliate stationsand a weaker prime-time programming slate to support the network's news operations compared to the two larger networks, each of which had established their radio news operations during the 1930s.
Roone Arledge
editBy the 1970s, the network had effectively turned around, with its prime-time entertainment programs achieving more substantial ratings and drawing in higher advertising revenue and profits for ABC overall. With the appointment of the president ofABC Sports,Roone Arledgeas president of ABC News in 1977, ABC invested the resources to make it a significant source of news content. Arledge, known for experimenting with the broadcast "model", created many of ABC News' most popular and enduring programs, including20/20,World News Tonight,This Week,Nightline,andPrimetime Live.[2]ABC News' longtime slogan, "More Americans get their news from ABC News than from any other source." (introduced in the late 1980s), was a claim referring to the number of people who watch, listen to and read ABC News content on television, radio and (eventually) the Internet, and not necessarily to the telecasts alone.[3]
In June 1998, ABC News (which owned an 80% stake in the service),Nine NetworkandITNsold their respective interests in Worldwide Television News to theAssociated Press.[citation needed]Additionally, ABC News signed a multi-year content deal with AP for its affiliate video service,Associated Press Television News(APTV), while providing material from ABC's news video service, ABC News One, to APTV.[4]
1985 Marilyn Monroe scandal
editScandal erupted in 1985 over a decision by Arledge, president of ABC News and Sports, to kill a 13-minute report aboutMarilyn Monroe,possibly due to his close ties toEthel Kennedy.20/20drew criticism from the program's co-anchors, Hugh Downs and Barbara Walters, and the executive producer, Av Westin. Arledge said that he had killed the piece because it was "gossip-column stuff" and "does not live up to its billing." Downs, however, took issue with Arledge's judgment. "I am upset about the way it was handled," he said in an interview. "I honestly believe that this is more carefully documented than anything any network did during Watergate. I lament the fact that the decision reflects badly on people I respect and it reflects badly on me and the broadcast."[5]Additionally, Westin said: "I don't anticipate not putting it on the air. The journalism is solid. Everything in there has two sources. We are documenting that there was a relationship between Bobby and Marilyn and Jack and Marilyn. A variety of eyewitnesses attest to that on camera." Two other aspects of the unaired report, according to an ABC staff member who has seen it, are eyewitness accounts of wiretapping of Monroe's home byJimmy Hoffa,the teamster leader, that reveal meetings between her and the Kennedy brothers, and accounts of a visit to Monroe byRobert F. Kennedyon the day of her death. Fred Otash, a detective who said he was the chief wiretapper, is interviewed on camera, and ABC staff members said three other wiretappers corroborated his account. In addition, several people not in the book say on camera that Monroe kept diaries with references to meetings with the Kennedy brothers, according to a staff member who has seen the report. "It set out to be a piece which would demonstrate that because of alleged relations between Robert Kennedy andJohn F. Kennedyand Monroe, the presidency was compromised because organized crime was involved, "he said." Based on what has been uncovered so far, there was no evidence. "[5]Arledge's decision to kill the broadcast resulted in the subsequent decision ofGeraldo Riverato leave ABC entirely. Rivera was a20/20correspondent but did not work on that story. He had been publicly critical of Arledge's decision. Arledge, a champion and defender of Rivera, said he thought the story needed more work. The story probed purported affairs between actress Marilyn Monroe, President John F. Kennedy, and his brother Robert F. Kennedy.[6]
21st century
editOn August 7, 2014, ABC announced that it would relaunch its radio network division,ABC Radio,on January 1, 2015. The change occurred following the announcement that Cumulus would replace its ABC News radio service withWestwood One News(viaCNN).[7]On September 20, 2019, ABC Radio was renamed as ABC Audio as the network has evolved to offer apodcastportfolio and other forms of on-demand and linear content.[8]
In April 2018, it was announced thatFiveThirtyEightwould be transferred to ABC News fromESPN, Inc.,majority owned byThe Walt Disney Company.[9]On September 10, 2018, ABC News launched a second attempt to extend its Good Morning America brand into the afternoon withGMA3: What You Need To Know.In May 2019, ABC News Live, an news focused streaming channel, was launched on Roku.[10]Following a reorganization of ABC's parent company, The Walt Disney Company which created the Walt Disney Direct-to-Consumer and International segment in March 2018, ABC News Digital and Live Streaming, including ABC News Live and FiveThirtyEight, were transferred to the new segment.[11]
In an October 2018Simmons Researchsurvey of 38 news organizations, ABC News was ranked the second most trusted news organization by Americans, behindThe Wall Street Journal.[12]
