ABC has updated the streaming service available via its app by adding original short-form series and giving users access to full seasons of 38 classic shows.
The redesigned app also provides a live stream of the network in 14 additional markets, bringing the total to 20. The stations added are owned by Hearst, the first affiliate group to launch an ABC live feed.
Our team has completely re-imagined the digital viewing experience for ABC fans, said Karin Gilford, senior VP of Digital Media, ABC Television Network. In addition to the current ABC shows that fans know and love, we are introducing new ABCd original digital series that are fun, fresh and perfect for mobile, and we are making full seasons of all-time favorite shows available for binging. Fans on Apple devices will benefit from a dynamic new interface that makes it easier to find shows. All of this allows us to expand beyond the bounds of our linear schedule and extend ABC storytelling to viewers across screens and platforms.
The original digital series were developed in house by the network's comedy development, daytime and digital media groups.
With our new digital comedy series, our creative team is able to experiment and push storytelling boundaries to create content that is daring, empowering, inclusive, emotional and true to life, said Samie Falvey, executive VP, comedy and international scripted development, ABC Entertainment. We hope this will be an opportunity for our existing talent to flex their creative muscles, and also an opportunity for audiences to discover and champion new emerging content creators.
The series feature talent including Ty Burrell, Iliza Shlesinger and Michelle Collins.
Whether the topic is love, saving money, or food, ABCd's unscripted slate features some of today's most irreverent, fresh and authentic voices offering insight, humor and practical advice on the subjects our viewers care about most, said Lisa Hackner, exeucitive VP of daytime and syndicated programming, ABC Entertainment Network.
The new app features are available for iOS devices at the app store and Apple TV app stores.
The classic shows available include Brothers & Sisters, Dinosaurs, Felicity, My So-Called Life, Red Band Society, Sports Night, Trophy Wife and Ugly Betty.
The new ABCd series are:
