The American Broadcasting Company (ABC) is an American commercial broadcast television and radio network. It serves as the flagship property of the Disney Entertainment division of the Walt Disney Company. ABC is headquartered on Riverside Drive in Burbank, California, directly across the street from Walt Disney Studios and adjacent to the Team Disney – Roy E. Disney Animation Building. The network also maintains secondary offices at 77 West 66th Street on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, New York City, which houses its broadcast center and the headquarters of its news division, ABC News.

Since 2007, when ABC Radio (also known as Cumulus Media Networks) was sold to Citadel Broadcasting, ABC has reduced its broadcasting operations almost exclusively to television. As the youngest of the "Big Three" American television networks, ABC is sometimes referred to as the Alphabet Network, as its initialism also represents the first three letters of the English alphabet. The ABC television network currently provides an average of 89 hours of network programming each week. This includes 22 hours of prime-time programming to affiliated stations from 8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday (Eastern and Pacific Time) and 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on Sundays.

Since its beginning, ABC has had over 300 television stations that have carried its programming at various times. This includes its first two owned-and-operated and affiliated stations, WABC-TV (founding O&O) and WPVI-TV (inaugural affiliate). As of 2020, ABC has eight owned-and-operated stations and affiliation agreements (current and pending) with 236 additional television stations. These stations cover 50 states, the District of Columbia, four U.S. possessions, Bermuda, and Saba. This makes ABC the largest U.S. broadcast television network by the total number of affiliates. The Sinclair Broadcast Group is the largest operator of ABC stations by numerical total, owning or providing services to 28 full, primary ABC affiliates and two subchannel-only affiliates.
