ABC (Lyvena)

ABC (full name: Associated Broadcasting Corporation) is a Lyvenan television channel owned by ABC Enterprises. ABC is recognised as one of the "Big Five" television networks. The channel was launched on May 5th, 1956, and was the first commercial broadcaster in Lyvena. The channel has since been in a ratings lock with rival broadcaster Lyvena Television.
Originally created as Associated Cinemas Television before renaming to it's current name less than a year later, ABC was created by the Associated Cinemas corporation in an attempt to safeguard their business by becoming involved with television, which was taking away their cinema audiences. ABC has created many popular television series - most notably the science fiction drama series Arkan, and achieved it's highest ratings in history in 1975 by airing an extended news bulletin after an earthquake occurred on the Lyvenan subcontinent; for contrast, LTV News had ceased it's six o'clock news bulletin at the normal time and was airing the soap opera Within These Walls.
In recent years, ABC has been criticised for airing many reality television shows instead of focusing on their main offerings. The current channel controller, since 2018, is Henry Lee.
