Distributed to 85 million homes, ABC Family offers diverse programming that reflects and resonates with today’s families. The channel features original series and movies, major theatrical releases and programming from the ABC Television Network.

In 2002, ABC Family premiered the original television movies Moms on Strike and Just a Walk in The Park. The channel also featured a variety of basic cable premieres of quality motion pictures, including Jack, Dr. Dolittle, One Fine Day and Phenomenon. Themed holiday events include 13 Nights of Halloween and 25 Days of Christmas.

In the first quarter of 2003, the channel is scheduled to premiere the reality series My Life Is a Sitcom and the original movie The One.
