When NBC split the red and blue network, it completely took away the core personnel of the whole blue network. By the time Edward john noble took over, it had become an empty shell. There are almost no formal program groups except equipment and coverage networks. Not to mention a decent program. President Edward john noble is a shrewd investor, but he is not a qualified media person. He, who is serious and unsmiling, ignores the suggestions of TV subordinates. I don't know how to develop a new media, how to find out what TV viewers like, and even suggest that broadcasters read newspapers in front of the camera. He doesn't care about how this enterprise, which only spent 1 10,000 dollars, gets out of trouble and creates wealth, but continues to run its own characteristic candy industry. He also made a fortune from the candy industry. Therefore, in the 10 year after the formal establishment of the Agricultural Bank of China, it did not cause any repercussions in front of the public. This situation continued until 1958, when Edward john noble died. As a philanthropist, he left three hospitals and a candy factory, but he didn't leave much for ABC TV. Of the three funds under his name, only one will reward outstanding employees of ABC according to the performance of TV stations.

The first few years were difficult. At that time, ABC lacked star programs and cash, so it was difficult to compete with the other two TV stations, so it took a different approach and took the lead in finding programs from Hollywood, such as Warner Bros. and Disney. In addition, they also engage in low-cost sports programs and late-night concerts and develop new program forms. Fortunately, the competition was not too fierce at that time. Agricultural Bank of China still has a chance to grow. This opportunity finally came three years after Edward john noble's death/kloc-0. 1970 signed a long-term contract with the football team and opened up the program "Football Night on Monday", which created unprecedented ratings for the company. This makes ABC TV, which has been at a disadvantage for a long time, finally have the capital to compete with the other two predecessors NBC TV and CBS TV. In the late 1970s, the ratings ranked first among the three major broadcasters for several years. What we are seeing now is NBC's Sunday Football Night, which is the product of the fight against ABC and still exists today.

1995, Disney, the media empire in its heyday, stepped in and bought ABC TV for1900 million dollars. Subsequently, ABC made great progress in the middle and late 1990s. However, ABC's weakness is obvious, that is, the attention and response speed of news really lag far behind CBS, NBC and CNN. In particular, the Iraq war and the 9. 1 1 incident were slow to respond. This has affected the pace of ABC's progress. In the sixth and seventh years of the acquisition, Disney's money also lost.

This situation continued until 2004. With the appearance of Lost, Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy, ABC has three TV series with super high ratings. Sweep away the depression in TV dramas. It also allows ABC TV to have more audience resources at its disposal.

At present, ABC TV has two headquarters, and its entertainment department is located in burbank, near Los Angeles, which is close to Hollywood, the entertainment center. But also connected with Disney Studio at the headquarters of Disney Company through a footbridge; The other is headquartered in Times Square, new york, the Media Center. After more than half a century of setbacks and failures, this TV station has not fallen. The antenna launcher inserted on the top of the Empire State Building is still ABC's.
