Disney Media Networks delivers entertainment and news programming across a growing variety of distribution technologies, including broadcast, cable, satellite, Internet, broadband and wireless.
Fueled by high-quality content, the ABC Television Network continued to show strength during the 2006-07 season. The introduction of the industry's first network-wide navigation system, "ABC Start Here," helped the 160 million viewers who turn to ABC each week follow the best in daytime drama, journalism, primetime entertainment and late-night laughs across all platforms.
ABC Daytime marked a full decade as No. 1 in daytime drama among Women 18-49, with a double-digit lead over the nearest competitor. Over the year, The View drew headlines, record ratings and two new faces. Whoopi Goldberg and Sherri Shepherd joined the cast and, with their co-hosts, have maintained this momentum.
From big newsmaker interviews to high-impact documentaries, the award-winning team of ABC News anchors, correspondents and producers continued to create compelling programming with the highest journalistic standards. In 2007, the News division welcomed the return of anchor Bob Woodruff, miraculously recovered from severe injuries sustained on assignment in Iraq; World News with Charles Gibson emerged as the No. 1 nightly news broadcast in America; and Diane Sawyer, Robin Roberts, Sam Champion and Chris Cuomo delivered news from across the country and around the world to Good Morning America viewers, adding a third full hour exclusively on the digital ABC News Now broadband network. Every ABC News broadcast now has its own Webcast on this platform, and viewers can also obtain news and analysis on ABCNews.com, a comprehensive news site relaunched in May 2007.
World News with Charles Gibson is the No.1 nightly news broadcast in America.
