American Broadcasting Company (ABC) is an American commercial broadcasting TV network.

History

After The Homer Show was cancelled from FOX, Groundskeeper Willie taped Homer Simpson doing stupid things. Willie then said "ABC will pay a fortune for this!".

Non-canon

By 2010, the news network CNNBCBS operated as a division of ABC. The channel provided around-the-clock news coverage and was anchored by veteran broadcaster Kent Brockman. During one broadcast, Brockman reported on a list of celebrities who had recently been arrested, warning viewers to consider any celebrity they encountered potentially dangerous.

It was one of the many networks that Homer tried to unsuccessfully sell his show to.
