More than 40 additional series are in development and will roll out monthly.<\/p>\n<p>Full seasons of past shows now available to stream include <em>Brothers &amp; Sisters<\/em>, <em>Dirty Sexy Money<\/em>, <em>Ellen<\/em>, <em>Felicity<\/em>, <em>FlashForward<\/em>, <em>My So-Called Life<\/em>, <em>Once Upon a Time in Wonderland<\/em>, <em>School House Rock<\/em> and <em>Ugly Betty<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to adding new content, the ABC digital experience has been redesigned with an improved user interface exclusively on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Apple TV. The redesign is meant to make it easier to find current shows and special curated collections.<\/p>\n<p>ABC has also expanded the footprint for its 24-hour network live stream. Pay-TV subscribers with participating providers can now access ABC\u2019s live 24-hour feed\u2014including local, national and syndicated programming\u2014using the ABC app for desktop, mobile and connected-TV devices in 14 Hearst Television ABC markets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur team has completely reimagined the digital viewing experience for ABC fans,\u201d said Karin Gilford, the senior VP of digital media at ABC Television Network. \u201cIn addition to the current ABC shows that fans know and love, we are introducing new ABCd original digital series that are fun, fresh and perfect for mobile, and we are making full seasons of all-time favorite shows available for binging. Fans on Apple devices will benefit from a dynamic new interface that makes it easier to find shows. All of this allows us to expand beyond the bounds of our linear schedule and extend ABC storytelling to viewers across screens and platforms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith our new digital comedy series, our creative team is able to experiment and push storytelling boundaries to create content that is daring, empowering, inclusive, emotional and true to life,\u201d added Samie Falvey, the executive VP of comedy and international scripted development at ABC Entertainment. \u201cWe hope this will be an opportunity for our existing talent to flex their creative muscles, and also an opportunity for audiences to discover and champion new emerging content creators.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhether the topic is love, saving money, or food, ABCd\u2019s unscripted slate features some of today\u2019s most irreverent, fresh and authentic voices offering insight, humor and practical advice on the subjects our viewers care about most,\u201d said Lisa Hackner, the executive VP of daytime and syndicated programming at ABC Entertainment Network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BURBANK: ABC has revamped its streaming app, now offering full seasons of 38 classic shows, new original short-form series and a redesigned interface.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":7173,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[158],"class_list":["post-7171","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-abc"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
