ABC News is a division of
ABC television and radio networks (ABC), owned by
The Walt Disney Company. Its current president is
David Westin.
The slogan is
More Americans get their news from ABC News than from any other news source. This is because unlike
NBC News, which has the higher rated television news department, and the higher rated online news site (
MSNBC.com), ABC News is including its radio newscasts, many of which air on high-rated AM
talk radio stations, in the rankings. NBC has virtually no radio news department. ABC News has recently started to advertise that every single ABC news program was honored with emmy awards.

Heather CabotThroughout the 1960s and early 1970s, ABC News wasn't a major news player compared to
CBS News and
NBC News. It wasn't until
Roone Arledge became the President of ABC News that ABC News finally became a major news player. Arledge would create many of ABC News's most famous programs, including
20/20,
World News Tonight,
This Week,
Nightline, and
Primetime Live.
