List of production companies owned by the American Broadcasting Company
The American Broadcasting Company has formed a number of production companies since its formation in 1943 and under various parent companies and owners up until the present day under ownership by the Walt Disney Company. ABC Film Syndication, or ABC Films, was ABC's syndication distribution arm from 1953 to 1971 when the FCC passed the Financial Interest and Syndication Rules (best known simply as the fin-syn rules). As a result, ABC Films was sold to 5 of its former executives and changed name to Worldvision Enterprises. ABC's current primary production company is 20th Television.
A number of production companies were formed under Capital Cities/ABC Video Enterprises, Capital Cities/ABC Video Productions (both were reorganized and absorbed into ABC Cable and International Broadcast Group, which changed name to Disney Media Distribution in 2011 and currently Disney Platform Distribution since 2020 upon Capital Cities/ABC's merger with Disney), Ultra Entertainment, the Hemisphere Group and DIC Entertainment.
