Why Does ABC Have Different Channel Numbers?
ABC, being a nationwide TV broadcast network, does not have a single owned-and-operated station capable of reaching all 140+ million homes in the United States. Even ABC’s eight owned-and-operated stations do not cover such an extensive audience. That being said, the network collaborates with local affiliate stations across the country to extend its reach to viewers in various regions. As a result, local ABC station channel numbers may vary across different regions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What channel is ABC on?
Because ABC is a national broadcast network, it must partner with local affiliate stations to reach audiences across the country. For that reason, ABC is on a different channel depending on your location.
