ABC Sports
ABC Sports provided memorable moments such as the Bowl Championship Series, and ushered in a new era for Monday Night Football, with the broadcast team of Al Michaels, Dennis Miller and Dan Fouts. As the broadcast home of college football, ABC Sports also will televise the best games from all the top conferences, culminating with the Rose Bowl, presented by AT&T. In addition, ABC Sports will continue to broadcast the Indianapolis 500, the World and U.S. Figure Skating Championships, the British Open and the NHL Stanley Cup Finals.

ABC Daytime
ABC Daytime made television history this year as the ratings leader among the key demographic of women 18-49 for the 25th consecutive year. The View continues to be the strongest performer in its time period in 10 years. General Hospital's Luke and Laura received national attention during the 20th anniversary of the famous couple's wedding episode, which was one of TV's most-watched events. The Sixth Annual Super Soap Weekend at Disney-MGM Studios, held November 3-4, 2001, remained the premier interactive fan event.
