ABC News Now

ABC News Now is an American 24-hour news network offered via digital television, broadband and streaming video at ABCNews.com and on mobile phones. It delivered breaking news, headline news each half-hour, and wide range of entertainment and lifestyle programs. The channel was available in the USA and in Europe. This station's "Talk Back" feature allowed viewers to voice their own input through the submission of videos and personal thoughts on controversial issues and current topics.
The original version of the channel was launched on June 26, 2004 and closed down on Apr. 27, 2009 and replaced with the Live Well Network. On Jan. 3, 2016, Disney/ABC announced plans of relaunching the network, and on June 19, 2016, ABC News Now was relaunched as a subchannel for all their O&Os and any affiliate that wishes to carry the subchannel in their market.
== History ==
After having attempted a 20-minute online news program three times a week hosted by Sam Donaldson in 1999, ABC News launched a forerunner of ABC News Now in March 2003. The service was fee based except for the customers of America Online, Comcast and a few other Internet providers. Later, mobile phone users could access the programming through Sprint's MobiTV. The ABC News Now service launched on July 24, 2004, with extended coverage of the Democratic National Convention and Republican National Convention. The station was carried by digital subchannels of 70 ABC-owned stations and affiliates. The service was also available online as a subscription-based outlet.
On November 5, 2007, Disney-ABC International Television announced plans to launch the channel in international territories including Germany, Spain and Belgium in 2008 on IPTV service Zattoo with more territories including the UK planned for the next 6 months, this marked the second international channel launched under ABC branding, the first being the UK general entertainment channel ABC1 which closed on September 26, 2007.
On April 27, 2009, ABC's owned-and-operated stations launched the Live Well Network, a lifestyle-oriented digital subchannel network, replacing ABC News Now. On October 28, 2013, ABC News launched a new cable news channel, Fusion, as a joint venture with Univision. On Apr. 21, 2016, Univision bought out the remaining shares of Fusion from Disney/ABC.
=== Relaunch ===
In December 2015, it was reported that Disney was in talks to sell its stake in Fusion to Univision. While that was going on, Disney/ABC was thinking about relaunching ABC News Now, which they announced that's what they're gonna do. On June 19, 2016, about two months after Univision out the remaining shares of Fusion from Disney/ABC, ABC News Now was relaunched as a subchannel for all their O&O's and any affiliates that wish to carry the channel on their subchannel.
